FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- On Friday, the Department of Athletics announced its 17th class for induction into its Hall of Fame. Inductees for 2014 include men's golfer Mike Adamson '97, women's soccer player Chrystal Bradley '07 and women's golfer Charlotte Williams '07. Additionally, the Teams of Distinction are the 1995 men's soccer team, the 1995 women's soccer team and the 1991-92 women's basketball team.
 
Adamson is another in a long line of men's golf standouts to play for the Monarchs. He helped lead the team to four National Championships and four conference championships. Along the way, he was a two-time All-American and the 1996 NCAA Individual National Champion. He nearly repeated as the Individual National Champion, finishing as the national runner-up in 1997. Additionally, Adamson was a two-time first team all-conference and one-time second team all-conference honoree.
 
Bradley led the women's soccer team to a pair of USA South Regular Season Championships in 2006 and 2007, a conference tournament title in 2007 and she helped the Monarchs to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances following both the 2006 and 2007 seasons. She was a four-time First Team All-USA South selection and garnered both the 2004 USA South Rookie of the Year award and the 2006 USA South Player of the Year honor. One of the most decorated players in MU history, she is still the program's all-time leader in goals (82), and holds single-season records for points (88) and goals (37), while also ranking second in career points (194), and fourth in career assists (30).
 
Rounding out the 17th induction class is Williams, a four-time First Team All-American for the women's golf team. She helped lead the team to four NCAA Championships and was a two-time NCAA Individual Champion (2005, 2006). In 2004, she was the NGCA Freshman of the Year, and in 2006 took home NGCA Player of the Year honors. To date, she is still the MU single-season leader in scoring average to par (+3.54 in 2006-07) and is tied for second in single-season wins (3 in 2005-06). She is also Methodist's all-time leader in scoring average to par (+4.87) and career rounds played (100), second all-time in tournament wins (6) and second all-time in par or better rounds (8).
 
The "Teams of Distinction" designation was created in the summer of 2013 to honor the many teams at Methodist that have distinguished themselves as special, with great performances at the conference, regional and national levels. The inaugural Teams of Distinction were the men's basketball teams from 192-1975, the 1977 baseball team, the women's golf teams from 1987-89 and the men's golf team from 1990.
 
Headlining the second class for the Teams of Distinction are the 1995 men's and women's soccer teams, which both finished the season as the NCAA Division III National Runners-up.
 
The men's team, under the direction of Alan Dawson, finished the season with an overall record of 21-1 and featured a pair of All-Americans (Kenneth Hoey, Kari Reynisson), the Conference Player of the Year (Hoey), Rookie of the Year (Reynisson) and Coach of the Year (Dawson). In all, the squad  had five first team all-conference players (Hoey, Reynisson, Kemal Kansu, Michael Scobee and Justin Terranova), and three second team all-conference players (Daniel Barros, Bjorgvin Fridriksson, Erik Lawton). Currently, the team still holds programs records for goals (74), assists (65), games won (21).
 
On the women's side, the Monarchs, coached by Phil Stephenson, finished the season at 18-4 overall. Ruth Keegan and Jennifer Mauer were both second team All-Americans and Keegan was the Conference Player of the Year while Stephenson earned Conference Coach of the Year accolades. Keegan, Maurer, Michelle Brown, Casey Nuckols, and Michelle Spees were all named first team all-conference, and Candace Croal, Laura Farrell, Stacie Gause and Alvy Styles were all named to the second team. The 1995 squad still holds the record of most wins in a single season (18, tied with 1990 team).
 
Finally, the 1991-92 women's basketball team, coached by current USA South Athletic Conference Commissioner Rita Wiggs, posted a record of 22-6 and captured the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship. The 22-win season still stands as the most successful in Methodist women's basketball history. Two individuals from that team were honored team as Daphne Akridge was a first team all-conference selection and Roxanne Cannaday was tabbed to the second team.
 
The Hall of Fame Banquet is slated for the evening of Oct. 31 in the Berns Student Center with the inductees to be honored the following day at halftime of the Homecoming football game vs. Averett.
