Drew University Athletics

Colleen Hewlett Bednarik indeed left her mark in the Drew record books. The only four-time and two-sport All-American, she was a standout for both the field hockey and women's lacrosse teams in the early to mid-1980s.

In field hockey, Bednarik helped her team to a four-year record of 62-17-4 and two berths in the NCAA Division III Tournament. In all, she scored 11 goals and had 13 assists for 35 career points. The team finished the season in the top 20 all four years she played, and she was named an All-American in 1985 when she led the team to the final four.

In lacrosse, Bednarik ended her career as the second all-time leading scorer in school history with 172 goals and 41 assists for 213 points. Her career assist record (41) still stood at the time of her induction, and she ranked second on the single- season list with 14 assists in 1986. She was a four-time MAC All-Star, All-American, and Regional All-American. In 1985 her team made it to the national semifinals posting a record of 14-1.

Bednarik was chosen to the United States National Team after her freshman year during which she set school records with 48 goals and five assists.

In 1985 she received the Paul Seymour Memorial Service Award, and in 1986 she won the coveted Female Athlete of the Year Award. During her career she was also named the Morris County Collegiate Female Athlete of the Year and the All-South Jersey Collegiate Female Athlete of the Year.
