The induction of five individuals and the greatest women’s team in Golden Griffin history into the Canisius College Sports Hall of Fame will take place Sunday afternoon in the Koessler Athletic Center.
The 1982-83 women’s basketball team (pictured above), which went 28-5 and advanced to within one game of the Division II Final four, will be introduced at halftime of the Griffs women’s game versus Rider. Tip-off is scheduled for Noon. All except one player from that squad is expected back for the ceremony.
The remaining five inductees – Brian Hennessy (Baseball), Glen Gast (Golf), Jim Foley (Cross Country/Track), Kevin Rozo (Lacrosse) and Jen Silata (Softball/Soccer) – will join the Hall of Fame during halftime of the men’s contest. That game versus Loyola, Md. tips off at 2:15 p.m.
