Hall of Fame
Jill Comerford was the leading scorer for the first John Carroll women's soccer team to qualify for the NCAA Division III Championship tournament, and was well rewarded for her performance.The first three-time All-region player (1999-2nd team, 2000-3rd team, 2001-3rd team) in John Carroll women's soccer history, Comerford also garnered All-Ohio honors three times (including first team in 2001) and All-OAC accolades four times. On the conference level, she was named first team three times and second team as a freshman.
A four-year starter and letterwinner, Comerford set program single season records with 17 goals and 42 points -- which still stand at the time of her induction. She is the program's all-time leader in career assists with 23, and is also second all-time in goals (31) and points(85). She was the team offensive MVP in 2001 as well as a team tri-captain that year.
Comerford's individual success translated to team achievements. The Blue Streaks were OAC regular season champions in 2000 and OAC tournament champions in 2001, which qualified John Carroll for the NCAA Championship for the first and, to this date, only time.
