Drew University Athletics

A snapshot of Casey Rogers' collegiate career on the Drew University field hockey team mirrors that of her personal character. Friends, family, and colleagues know her as reliable, a model of consistency, and a well-rounded individual. Those qualities are exactly what made her famous roaming the turf at Ranger Stadium and across field hockey venues in the Mid-Atlantic region from 1999 to 2002.
 
From her freshman year in the Forest until her graduation in 2003, Rogers' athletic accolades were astoundingly steady. She was named the Middle Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year in 1999, and 80 starts later, closed her career with a selection to the Division III North/South All-Star game. In between, eye-opening offensive statistics garnered three All-MAC First Team honors, a MAC Player of the Year award, two All-Region First Team nods, and a selection to the NCAA Division III All-America Third Team in 2001.
 
Rogers' magical 2001 season, which culminated in the eighth All-America honor in program history at the time, was highlighted by a historic attack on opposing goalkeepers and the cages they minded. Not many keepers could keep the ball out of the back of the box when it came off Rogers' stick. She scored 24 goals that season, a mark that still ranks fourth in program history, and when she wasn't scoring, she was helping her teammates do so by way of 13 assists. She totaled 61 points in the fall of 2001, which still stands as the third best point output for a single season in Drew history.
 
Keeping with the theme of consistency, Rogers ended up leaving the Rangers as the second most prolific scorer in program history with 152 points. Her 63 career goals also ranked second in the record book, while her 26 career assists was seventh. Her offensive onslaught coincided with a revival for the Rangers team. During her four years in Madison, Drew was 44-37 overall with a 15-5 mark in the Freedom Conference of the MAC. Rogers guided the Rangers to three Freedom Conference championships from 2000-02, three of seven total conference championships in Drew field hockey history.
 
Rogers' aforementioned well-rounded character, a staple of Division III student-athletes especially at Drew University, was evidenced by her equally consistent work in the classroom, as she made the grade for three consecutive MAC All-Academic Teams from 2000-02.
