Union College Athletics

One of the most decorated two-sport athletes in Union history, Michelle Rogers (Iduate) was a record-setting force for both the women's basketball and softball teams from 2005-09.
 
Rogers had one of the most prolific careers in program history on the softball field, as she remains the only Union softball player (and one of only five in any sport) to earn four straight All-Region selections and was a four-time All-Liberty League first-team honoree. A career .463 hitter in 144 games, Rogers is Union's all-time leader in hits (223), runs scored (149) and doubles (50), while also ranking second in batting average, third in on-base percentage (.500), fourth in slugging percentage (.676) and fifth in runs batted in (110). She set the school single-season record by scoring 45 times while also hitting a career-high eight homers as a sophomore, and led Division III in doubles and doubles per game with a program-record 21 two-baggers in her junior year. The team posted a remarkable 123-28 (.814) record in her four seasons, the highest four-year winning percentage in program history.
 
Rogers was just as successful on the court for Union, scoring over 1,000 points and remaining Union's all-time leader in field-goal percentage at 59.3 percent in 100 games. He averaged 16.5 points per game and shot 62.2 percent from the field on the way to Liberty League Player of the Year and D3hoops.com All-Region honors as a senior, including a program-record 38 points and 17 field goals against Williams on November 30, 2008. The two-time All-Liberty League selection averaged over 10 points per game for her career and currently ranks ninth all-time in points (1,076), eighth in field goals (429) and 10th in free throws (217) at Union.
 
Due in part to her multi-sport prowess, Rogers is one of the few Union student-athletes to earn Athlete of the Year for her class in all four years on campus, sweeping the Terry Lynch-Jackie Havercamp Cuttita Memorial Award, Female Sophomore Athletic Prize, ECAC Medal of Merit and Robert M. Ridings Memorial Award.
