INDUCTEE BIOGRAPHIES
Keisha Caine '95 is one of the greatest athletes in Seton Hall history regardless of sport. She was a nine-time All-American with the Pirates, a member of two 4x400 relay teams that won national championships and was a part of two BIG EAST Championship winning teams. She was the 1995 BIG EAST Championship Most Outstanding Performer and finished her career winning nine total conference championships.Â
Tommy Houston '97 was an All-American midfielder at Seton Hall and three-time All-BIG EAST performer, finishing his career with 20 goals and 24 assists. At the time of his graduation, his 20 assists ranked fifth most in program history. His sophomore season ranks as one of the best in school history with 12 goals and nine assists, including a streak of seven straight matches with a goal scored.
Kyle Morris '08 ranks in the top five of the men's golf team's record book in almost every individual category, including most tournament victories, most sub-par tournaments, most sub-par rounds, stroke average and most top-five and top-ten finishes. His 63 on a par-71 on March 9, 2007 still ranks as the lowest single-round score in program history.
Stacey Nagle '99 is one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the women's soccer team and was a part of the program's historic 1997 campaign, when the Pirates won 14 matches. She recorded 7-1/2 shutouts during that magical season and is the program's career leader in clean sheets (25-1/2) and saves (536).
For over 50 years, Phyllis Sheppard has served as the matriarch of Seton Hall baseball and has been a positive influence on hundreds of student-athletes that have come through the University while also dedicating a wealth of time towards philanthropic efforts that have benefited the athletics department. She is the wonderful wife to Mike Sheppard, Sr., who was the head coach of the Pirates from 1973-2003, and mother to current head coach Rob Sheppard.
