Hall of Fame
The first MAC Rookie of the Year in the women's lacrosse team's history, Sarah (Wingerden) Zawodzinski left a major impact on the school's record book despite only playing three seasons due to a knee injury her senior year. From the first time that Wingerden stepped on the field, the Macedon, N.Y., native was a difference maker for the Warriors. She tied for the team lead with 74 points in 2006, helping pace the Warriors to its first spot in the MAC Championship final. Wingerden is one of just three players in program history to earn First Team All-MAC honors three times in a career and she was also a First Team All-Metro Region pick as a sophomore and second-team selection as a junior. She is second in school history with six game-winning goals, ninth with 171 career points, seventh with 131 goals and 10th with 40 assists. Also a talented defender, she scooped up 126 career ground balls and caused 66 turnovers. The Warriors went 37-16 in her three years with the team, appearing in the postseason all four years of her career. She was also a four-year letterwinner and starter on the women's soccer team as a midfielder, finishing her career with 14 goals and six assists. Wingerden was one of two Warriors named to the MAC Women's Lacrosse Century Team in 2012, joining teammate Megan Wallenhorst.
