Athletics Hall of Fame

McDaniel College Athletics Hall of Fame

The McDaniel College Athletics Hall of Fame, sponsored by the McDaniel College Alumni Association, honors former athletes who have achieved prominence in their chosen fields and who also have made contributions to society. An athlete must be separated from intercollegiate competition at the college for a minimum 10-year period for nomination. Any coach, staff, administrator, or manager nominated may be inducted in that role immediately after retirement in that capacity.

The greatest goal scorer in the history of the men's lacrosse team at McDaniel, Brown was a two-time United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-American and two-time All-Centennial Conference Second Team selection.

Brown holds the program record with 202 career goals and is one of only two players in Centennial Conference history to score 200 or more. Brown scored 202 goals in just 58 career games, a mark that ranks fourth in league history.

Brown also had 95 assists, finishing his career with 297 career points, a mark that ranks second in the Centennial Conference. Brown averaged 5.12 points per game, the fourth-highest total in league history. He led the conference in goals in 2001 and 2002 and points in 2000 and 2001.

As a junior, Brown scored a Centennial Conference record 70 goals, a mark that would stand alone until 2018. He also tied the school record for goals in a game with 11 in 2001. An Art major on the Hill, Brown also played football as a first-year student and was a member of Gamma Beta Chi fraternity. He is currently the president of Tom Brown Contracting in Columbia, Maryland, where he lives with his wife, Meghan, and their children, Lucas and Sloan.

One of the trailblazers in women's athletics at McDaniel, Dixon distinguished herself as an all-around, elite-level athlete.

As a sophomore, she was selected by a panel of coaches as a forward on the All-Star Team at the Bryn Maw Play Day.

She received the "M" Award as a senior, the highest symbol of athletic achievement for women at the time, representing participation in multiple sports over a four-year career.

She majored in Mathematics and Physics on the Hill and went on to become a math teacher before committing 28 years to teaching students who are Deaf, leaving a profound impact on generations of learners. An advocate for accessible education, she was an active member of the Teachers Association of Anne Arundel County, the Maryland State Teachers Association, and the Pulmonary Hypertension Association.

In retirement, Dixon remains involved in her local community, serving on the board of directors for the West River Improvement Association and as a member of the Galesville Heritage Society.

A four-year standout and one of the most decorated players in the history of the McDaniel women's golf program, Koopman was a four-time All-Centennial Conference First Team selection, one of only eight in the history of the conference. She finished second at the Centennial Conference Women's Golf Championship in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

She ranks second in school history and 11th in the Centennial Conference, competing in 39 career tournaments, earning five individual titles.

Paige Messersmith '13 - Women's Lacrosse, Field Hockey

Messersmith is one of the most accomplished dual-sport athletes in college history. A two-year captain in both field hockey and women's lacrosse, she totaled six all-conference honors and six all-region selections in her career.

In lacrosse, Messersmith is one of only two four-time All-Centennial Conference selections in program history, earning first team honors in 2012 and 2013. She was a three-time Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-Region honoree and earned IWLCA All-American honors in 2013. She set both the program and Centennial Conference record with 300 career draw controls which stood until 2024. In field hockey, she was a two-time All-Centennial Conference First Team and two-time National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-South Region honoree in 2011 and 2012.

Katy Powell '07 - Women's Basketball

Powell was a standout on the McDaniel women's basketball team during one of the most successful stretches in program history. She was a two-time All-Centennial Conference selection and was named Centennial Conference Player of the Year in 2007.

Over Powell's four-year career, the Green Terror posted a 93-21 overall record with a mark of 62-10 in the Centennial Conference. They won a school-record 25 games and back-to-back conference titles in 2004 and 2005, and made four postseason appearances, including three in the NCAA Division Ill Women's Basketball Championship with a run to the Sweet 16 in 2004.

Powell ranks seventh in program history in games played and is one of just 17 players to score 1,000 career points. As a senior, Powell averaged 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.2 steals, all career highs, while totaling

2.8 assists en route to earning first team all-conference and Player of the Year honors.

Powell majored in Biology and was a member of TriBeta, the Biology honor society, and participated in the DIVAS community service organization.

She later earned a Master of Arts in Teaching from Frostburg State University.

Joe "J-Roll" Rollins '14 - Football

One of the most electric student-athletes in McDaniel College history, Rollins left an indelible mark on both the football field and the track. He was a three-time All-Centennial Conference First Team selection who was named the 2013 Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Year. An All-American, he is one of just six players in program history to earn three first team all-conference selections and one of only four to earn Player of the Year honors.

He holds the program record with six yards per carry, and ranks second in program history with 4,641 rushing yards and third in rushing touchdowns.

In track and field, Rollins is top-ranked in the program's top performers list in the 60-meter dash and the 55-meter dash.

Dave Seibert '78, M.Ed. '81 - Coach

The winningest baseball coach in the history of McDaniel College, Seibert was a cornerstone of the program for nearly four decades. A member of the American Baseball Coaches Association "Century Club," he amassed 526 victories over 38 seasons.

In 2016, Seibert led the Green Terror to a program-record 31 wins and second-straight appearance in the Centennial Conference Baseball Championship. Seibert guided the Green Terror to six conference tournaments and three Eastern College Athletic Conference Tournaments. He led the team to the 1984 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship and 1989 MAC Southwest Division title. He was named Coach of the Year by the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches in 1995.

Seibert also served as an assistant football coach for 20 seasons, including 14 as the defensive coordinator and four as the team's quarterbacks coach.
