INDUCTION CEREMONY SPEECH

A rare two-sport athlete in cross country and lacrosse, Holly Davis produced an even more extraordinary career as a Gull.

Davis is the only student-athlete in Endicott Athletics history to earn the department's Female Student-Athlete of the Year (2013-14) and Female Athlete of the Year (2011-12) awards during their career.

Davis' other historic achievements include being the only CoSIDA Academic All-American in women's lacrosse program history and the all-time leader in shots on goal (342), shots on goal per game (4.38), and draw controls (304).

She also ranks second all-time in goals (213) and draw controls per game (3.90), third in goals per game (2.73), and fourth in points (261).

Overall in her career, Davis played in 78 games compiling 213 goals and 48 assists for 261 points alongside 112 ground balls, 304 draw controls, and 41 caused turnovers.

Davis earned CCC Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2013, two All-CCC First Team selections, and one All-CCC Second Team honor. She also was a four-time All-Region award winner and a three-time CCC Academic All-Conference selection.

As a team during her career (2010-13), the Gulls registered a 55-26 overall record (.679) and a 35-2 conference mark (.946).

Endicott won four straight conference championships during that span — which occurred during the program's run of nine consecutive titles from 2006-2014 — and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history in 2013.

The Gulls' 11-0 conference record in 2010 still stands as the most league wins by any team in CCC women's lacrosse history.

As a member of the cross country program, Davis was a mainstay in the top-5 throughout her career, one of only four student-athletes to be named a captain multiple times, and a three-time CCC Academic All-Conference honoree bringing her career total to six.

Davis is the first cross country inductee into the Endicott Athletics Hall of Fame and the third women's lacrosse honoree.
