Hartwick College Athletics

Maria Foglia ’14 was the spearhead of an impressive class of Hawks that won 66 games in three years to go along with two NCAA Tournament berths, an ECAC Metro title, and three Empire 8 playoff appearances. After earning Empire 8 Second Team honors as a freshman, Foglia helped the Hawks to 22 victories and an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament, the program’s first appearance in 13 years. She was selected to the ECAC Upstate and Empire 8 First Team for her efforts. Twenty-two more victories followed in Foglia’s junior year, which included the Hawks’ first ECAC Championship in program history. She was selected as the Empire 8 Player of the Year, the ECAC Metro Tournament Most Outstanding Player, and was named to the D3hoops.com All-East Region and Empire 8 First Team. Foglia led Hartwick back to the NCAA Tournament in 2014. She finished with 23 points and was a huge factor down the stretch in regulation and in overtime in a come-from-behind victory over Baruch in the opening round at Lambros Arena. It would mark the program’s first tournament win since 1991. Foglia was named to the Empire 8 First Team for the third straight season and she was tapped a Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Honorable Mention All-American. The three-time Team MVP and two-time Hartwick Female Athlete of the Year graduated as the program record holder for career free throws made (476) and free throws made in a season (155). She also ranked fourth in scoring (1,540) and second in three-pointers made (162).
