ENDICOTT ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME, CLASS OF 2025

AMY HEACOX '15, WOMEN'S TENNIS

Amy Heacox '15 is the winningest tennis player in program history.

Heacox owns both the single-season and all-time records for most singles wins (20-0, 2013-14 | 53-16 overall, .768) and doubles victories (19-1, 2011-12 | 63-12 overall, .840). 

Heacox was particularly dominant at the No. 3 position in the lineup, posting a 19-4 (.826) mark in singles play and a 31-3 (.912) record in doubles action for the Gulls.

The 2014 CCC Player of the Year compiled two All-CCC First Team Singles honors, one Second Team Singles nod, one First Team Doubles award, and one Second Team Doubles selection. 

Academically, Heacox was named the 2014-15 Endicott College Female Student-Athlete of the Year. She also earned three CCC Academic All-Conference honors and two ITA All-Academic awards.

During her four-year career (2011-15), Endicott posted a 64-19 (.771) overall record and 29-3 (.906) showing in conference play. The Gulls won four straight CCC Championships during that span and made four NCAA Tournament appearances (1 First Round, 3 Second Round).

"As a student-athlete, Amy was the epitome of a player that used her preparation and consummate drive to win, which positioned her as one of the best tennis players Endicott has had," said Assistant Vice President, Director of Athletics Dr. Brian A. Wylie. "Her mindset was to study her opponents' weaknesses, and to attack those weaknesses in a way that few others could. Her historic accomplishments of wins and achievements as a tennis player showcased her dominance, but it was her quiet confidence, unrelenting drive, and leadership as a person that propelled her to be different than others."

MERRY MACDONALD '10, SOFTBALL

Merry MacDonald '10 held down the hot corner for the Gulls from 2008-10.

MacDonald's career stats include a .398/.434/.578 (.avg/.obp/.slg) slash line, 98 runs, 153 hits (118 1B, 16 2B, 4 3B, 15 HR), 86 RBI, and 45 stolen bases.

At the time of her induction, MacDonald ranked third in batting average and stolen bases, sixth in slugging percentage, seventh in hits, and ninth in on-base percentage, total bases (222), home runs, and most double plays turned. 

The 2009 CCC Player of the Year earned two All-Conference selections (1 first team, 1 second team) and a pair of All-Region honors. 

Academically, MacDonald excelled in the classroom, claiming Endicott College Senior Scholar-Athlete and CCC Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in 2009-10. She also received three CCC Academic All-Conference nods.

As a team, the Gulls produced a 107-27-1 (.796) overall record and a 63-8-1 (.882) league record, won three CCC Championships, made three NCAA Tournament appearances, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Regional Finals in 2008.

"Merry joined a loaded team in 2008 as a transfer and made an immediate impact at third base for the 10-time defending conference champion Gulls. By the time her playing career was over, Merry produced a resume that easily put her in the discussion for the best third baseman Endicott has ever had," said Wylie. "A gritty player, Merry always was willing to do the little things to help her teams rack up win, after win, after win. That unselfish demeanor, along with her calm and witty presence, and pure desire and passion to win, allowed her teammates, and most people in general, to gravitate easily towards her." 

HARRY ORINGER '15, BASEBALL

Harry Oringer '15 was consistent in every sense of the word.

Oringer played in a program record 186 games from 2012-15, missing only one game during his standout career.

The fiercely competitive second baseman produced a .323/.434/.452 (.avg/.obp/.slg) slash line, and compiled 146 runs, 53 extra-base hits (32 2B, 12 3B, 9 HR), 126 RBI, 85 walks, and 46 stolen bases.

He also ranks top-10 in program history in most at-bats (1st, 641), hits (5th, 207), walks (5th), stolen bases (t-8th), and total bases (10th, 290).

In the field, Oringer played elite defense up the middle, often changing the outcome of games with his flawless glove work. Oringer still holds the program record for most double plays turned (117), and ranks second in most assists (541) at the time of his induction.

Oringer was a two-time All-American, four-time All-Region selection, and three-time All-Conference honoree. Academically, he was named the 2014-15 Endicott College Senior Scholar-Athlete and earned one Academic All-Conference award.

As a team, the Gulls compiled a 124-63 (.663) overall record and a 52-12 (.813) mark in league play, captured one ECAC Championship, two CCC Championships, and made two NCAA Regional Final appearances.

Oringer went on to join Endicott's coaching staff from 2018-23, helping guide the Gulls to unprecedented success, highlighted by the program's first-ever NCAA D3 College World Series appearance.

"Harry is one of the hardest-working, professional, and competitive individuals that I have met. As a player, this was demonstrated not only with his defense and disciplined at-bats, but also with his overall approach to preparing more than his opponents," said Wylie. "A supremely gifted athlete who became a two-time All-American, Harry was integral to his team's success over his time here at Endicott. This same desire for success created a pathway for college coaching, and he has become one of the best teachers and coaches in the college game today."
