BALTIMORE, MD - Goucher College Athletics has announced its Hall of Fame Class of 2026, which includes four individuals and one Team of Distinction.
Representing men's tennis, Jack Hodges '18 will be inducted following one of the most decorated careers in program history. Hodges earned All-Landmark Conference honors in every season of his career, receiving Second Team Doubles recognition in 2015 and 2018, First Team Singles honors in 2016, 2017, and 2018, and First Team Doubles accolades in 2016 and 2018. He was also named the Landmark Conference Player of the Year and earned Senior Scholar-Athlete honors.
During his career, Hodges posted a remarkable 28-2 record in Landmark singles play and a 24-4 mark in conference doubles competition. He excelled in postseason play, going 8-0 in conference tournament doubles matches while adding a 5-1 record in singles. At the NCAA Championships, Hodges compiled a 2-3 doubles record and a 1-2 singles mark. He concluded his career by receiving the Coaches Award, presented to the student-athlete who most competitively represented Goucher throughout their athletic career.
Kate Howell Bullard '04 joins the Hall of Fame following an outstanding women's lacrosse career. Howell Bullard earned All-Conference honors three times, receiving Second Team recognition in 2002 and 2003 before earning First Team honors as a senior in 2004. Her accomplishments extended beyond the conference level, as she was named Second Team All-Region in 2003 and First Team All-Region in 2004. She capped her collegiate career by earning Second Team All-America honors in 2004.
More than two decades later, Howell Bullard remains among the program's all-time leaders. She currently ranks fifth in career goals with 166, trailing former teammate and fellow Hall of Fame member Ashley Snyder Cromwell. Her 57 career assists rank among the best in program history, while her 223 career points place her fifth all-time and just behind Snyder Cromwell.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2026 also includes Lisa Masotto '86, one of the most versatile student-athletes in Goucher history. Masotto competed in field hockey, women's basketball, and women's lacrosse while also serving as an active member of campus organizations, including the Recreational Athletic Council, which promoted intracollegiate and intrahouse competition.
Upon graduation, Masotto held the program record for career field hockey goals with 24. She was also a member of the 1985 field hockey team, the first in program history to record 10 victories in a season. Her accomplishments were recognized with the Coaches Award in 1986 and the 1986 William Neumann Physical Education Service Award, presented to a student-athlete who exemplifies character, loyalty, dedication, leadership, citizenship, and athletic excellence.
Karli Postel '13 earned induction following a career that established her as one of the most accomplished riders in Goucher equestrian history. Postel captured five regional championships, winning Open Fences titles in 2011, 2012, and 2013, and Open Flat championships in 2012 and 2013. She also earned Reserve Regional Champion honors in Open Flat in 2011. Following an impressive 2011 campaign, Postel was named Region Reserve High Point Rider before earning Region High Point Rider honors in 2012.
Postel's success continued on the national stage. In 2013, she earned Reserve National Champion honors and helped lead Goucher to a fifth-place finish at the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association National Championships, the best team finish in program history. That result followed a seventh-place national finish in 2012. Already recognized as one of the premier riders in Goucher Athletics history, Postel now joins two former teammates in the Hall of Fame and follows the induction of the 2013 equestrian team as a Team of Distinction.
Rounding out the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 is the 2012 Men's Lacrosse Team, recognized as this year's Team of Distinction. The squad produced one of the finest seasons in program history, finishing 18-2 overall and posting an undefeated conference record. The Gophers captured the Landmark Conference Championship with a 10-7 victory over Drew, securing a berth in the NCAA Tournament. In the opening round of the national tournament, Goucher defeated Washington College, 5-4, to advance to the second round.
The team's success was reflected in its postseason accolades. Five players earned First Team All-Landmark Conference honors, while one was named to the Second Team. At the national level, three Gophers received All-America recognition, with Matt Lynch earning Third Team honors and Rory Averett and Kyle Boncaro receiving Honorable Mention distinction.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2026 will be formally inducted during Blue & Gold Weekend on October 16.
