Ursuline College Athletic Hall of Fame
Bridget McNamara was the first recruit to join the Ursuline College tennis program and was a member of the inaugural tennis team in her freshman season. The four-time team captain was a two-time All-American Mideast Conference North Division selection in singles (2005 and 2006) and garnered scholar-athlete status from the conference in 2007.
Away from the court, McNamara carried herself how an Ursuline student-athlete should. She was recognized as a ‘Champion of Character’ for demonstrating integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership.
McNamara came to Ursuline as a legacy but made her own mark. She was inducted into Kappa Gamma Pi (the association of distinguished women graduates) and Psi Chi (the International Honor Society in Psychology) and in 2007, she was highlighted in ‘Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.’
Before earning her degree in psychology in 2007, McNamara was a Fleur-de-Lis Leadership Honorary for exemplifying the Ursuline mission.
