Sports Hall of Fame inducts 8 in 2014 Seven Laker athletes and a beloved Mercyhurst professor make up the 2014 class inducted into the Mercyhurst University Athletics Hall of Fame. Those inducted include:
BRIAN HABERSTOCK
WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL, 2001-04
Haberstock finished his outstanding career on the Laker football team with 1,271 rushing yards, which currently ranks 12th on the all-time list. He was the third rusher in program history to eclipse 1,000 career rushing yards and he still holds the school record for most rushing yards in a game (282 against Buffalo on Oct. 27, 1990) and for the longest kickoff return in school history (100 yards against Brockport State in 1988). He was the first player to rush for four touchdowns in one game and held the school record for career yards per carry (5.1) until it was broken in 2013. He was a Pizza Hut Third Team All-American in 1988.
Hughes remains the program’s all-time leader in kills and ranks second all-time in both digs and service aces. She was a two-time CoSIDA Second Team Academic All-American, a two-time AVCA AllRegion selection, and a two-time CoSIDA First Team Academic All-District honoree. She was a member of the All-GLIAC Team three times and was also a three-time GLIAC All-Academic selection. She also ranks in the top 10 in career blocks and is the most decorated player in Mercyhurst volleyball history.
JEANNA HARTMANN
FIELD HOCKEY, 1999-2002
Hartmann was a First Team STX/NFHCA Division II All-American in 2002. She currently ranks third on the program’s all-time list in career points with 75 and career assists with 19, and is tied for second with 28 career goals. During her All-American year of 2002, Hartmann recorded the third-most points in a season with 35 and the fourth-most goals in a season (14).

He held the program record for career goals and career points until 2013, and remains second in both categories. He played professionally for three seasons after his graduation, two years in New Zealand’s First Division and one year in Germany’s Second Division.
“The efforts of these students both on the field and in the classroom have made them a perfect fit for this prestigious honor,” said Athletics Director Joe Kimball. “And Barry McAndrew has been an icon at Mercyhurst for so many years in both academics and athletics that it was an easy decision to induct him as well.”
