SELINSGROVE, PA – Six new members will be inducted into the Susquehanna Sports Hall of Fame at halftime of Saturday’s Homecoming football game against Widener.

The six inductees are Bob O’Gara ‘51 (football), Jim Hall ‘68 (baseball and football), Bill Hart ‘78 (baseball), Kelly MacDonald ‘85 (field hockey), Jen Winter ‘92 Zeitz (basketball and softball) and William M. “Rocky” Rees (football coach).

Each will receive a commemorative plaque from university president Jay Lemons during the ceremony. The Class of 2001 will increase the number of members of the Susquehanna Sports Hall of Fame to 149.

O’Gara set career records for passing yards (2,229) and completions (194) from 1947-49, and still ranks in the top 10 in both categories. He led Susquehanna to a 7-7 tie against Allegheny on November 15, 1947 after tossing a touchdown pass with less than 10 seconds remaining to knot the score.

In that game, which was played in a snowstorm, O’Gara completed 20 passes in 30 attempts for 234 yards to set a single-game record for completions that would stand until 1976. In 1947, O’Gara ranked fourth in the nation among small college players in passes completed.

A native of Bloomfield, N.J., O’Gara is a retired claims examiner with Geico and resides in Middletown, N.J. He and his wife, Elaine Faddis ‘50 O’Gara, have three children.

Hall, a four-year member of both the football and baseball teams, started at second base on the baseball team all four seasons while earning a starting job on the football team at defensive back in his final two campaigns.

A first-team MAC All-Star second baseman as a junior, Hall posted just a .234 career batting average (55 for 235) using wood bats, but still ranks ninth all-time in career walks with 48 – helping him post a .375 career on-base percentage as primarily a lead-off or number-two hitter. He added 13 stolen bases during his career on the diamond.

Defensively, Hall committed just 14 errors in 317 career defensive chances for a .956 fielding percentage, posting a fielding percentage of .950 or better in three of his four seasons.

In football, he led the team in tackles during his senior season with 42 (25 solo), and was fifth as a junior with 44 (14 solo). A versatile player, Hall was a quarterback as a sophomore and junior and played some split end as a senior.

A native of Aberdeen, Md., Hall is president of the employee benefits division for ABD, Inc. and Financial Services, and resides in Palos Verdes Estates, California. He and his wife, Pam, have three children.

A catcher, Hart is the most prolific power hitter in Susquehanna baseball history. He still holds the career record for home runs with 18 and is ranked among the leaders in career slugging percentage (.575), walks (53) and runs batted in (90).

Hart is the only player in school history to hit five or more homers more than once in his career – and he did it three straight years (1976-78). He also earned Middle Atlantic Conference All-Star honors during his career.

A native of Weatherly, Pa., Hart is the director of labor relations for Verizon and resides in Clementon, N.J. with his wife, Cindy, and their four children.

MacDonald was a three-year starter in goal for the field hockey team who starred during her senior season of 1984. She helped that squad post the school record for fewest goals allowed in a season with just five as the Crusaders enjoyed their first winning record since 1974 by going 9-3.

MacDonald had a microscopic 0.42 goals-against average and stellar .941 save percentage which included 80 saves and set what was then a school record with seven shutouts, which is still tied for the third most in a season at Susquehanna.

MacDonald made the National Field Hockey Festival in 1981, 1982 and 1983 and had 112 saves during her first two years as a starter.

A native of Bedford, N.H., MacDonald is a field manager for the New Hampshire Citizens Alliance and resides in Bedford.

A starter all four years in both basketball and softball, Zeitz led the women’s basketball team to back-to-back MAC Northern Division championships and NCAA Division III Championship Tournament berths as its starting point guard.

She also finished her softball career as the school’s all-time leading hitter and presently ranks second in career hits (109), runs (93), batting average (.419) and stolen bases (56) while still holding the career record for walks (40).

Zeitz also has the second highest batting average recorded in a season at Susquehanna, batting .538 to finish second nationally in Division III that season. She was a first-team MAC Northwest League All-Star as a senior in softball.

In basketball, her playmaking and defensive abilities undoubtedly led that program through two prolific years. A senior captain, Zeitz is still third in career steals (215) and fourth in assists (313). In 1992, she shared the school’s Outstanding Senior Female Scholar-Athlete Award.

A native of Ardsley, Pa., Zeitz is a claims adjustor with State Farm Insurance and resides in Warminster, Pa. with her husband, Neil.

Rees coached the Crusader football team from 1985 to 1989 and engineered what was then the greatest turnaround in Division III history. After posting a 3-7 record in his first season, the Crusaders went 11-1, won the MAC championship and advanced to the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time in program history.

The Crusaders would share MAC titles in 1987 (8-2) and 1989 (8-1-1) under Rees’ tenure. In his five seasons at Susquehanna, Rees posted a 36-15-1 record (.701 winning percentage) and he ranks fifth in victories among Crusader grid coaches.

Since 1990, Rees has been the head football coach at Division II Shippensburg University. A native of Morristown, N.J. and a 1971 graduate of West Chester University, Rees and his late wife, Patricia, have one daughter.
