Seven former student-athletes will be inducted into the Stonehill College Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, Nov. 7.
The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. in the Pettit Atrium of the Shields Science Center, ahead of Stonehill's home football game against Central Connecticut State at 1 p.m. Tickets are not required, but attendees are encouraged to RSVP online.
The 2026 inductees are Kristin Darrell (women's lacrosse, 2008), David Donnelly (men's basketball, 1999), Nicole Eisenmann (softball, 2013), Emily Iverson (volleyball, 2015), Jay McHugh (men's soccer, 1989), Robert Pascale (men's ice hockey, 2004) and Steve Sheeler (football, 2004).
Now the coach at East Bridgewater, Eisenmann was a three-time All-NE-10 selection and finished as the program's all-time leader in hits and RBIs. She ranked in the top three in home runs, average and doubles. As a senior, she hit 14 home runs, ranking sixth in NE-10 single-season history, and helped Stonehill to a program-best 27 wins.
Darrell is Stonehill's career leader with 241 goals and ranks fourth in program history with 309 points. She was a three-time Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association All-American, including a first-team honoree in 2007. Darrell is tied for the Stonehill single-game record with nine goals and her 71 goals in 2006 is the second-most in a single season in program history.
Donnelly was a two-time All-Northeast-10 First Team selection in 1998 and 1999. He ranks 10th in program history with 1,502 points. Donnelly averaged 18.4 points as a junior, helping Stonehill to the regular-season conference championship with a 22-7 record.
Iverson was named the NE-10 Rookie of the Year after averaging 10.44 assists per set her freshman season, helping Stonehill to a program-best 27 wins. As a senior, she guided the Skyhawks to the NE-10 regular-season championship and earned NE-10 Player of the Year, All-Region and All-American honors.
McHugh was a four-time All-Northeast Conference selection, earning first-team honors in 1987 and 1988. McHugh served as a two-time team captain as a junior and senior.

Pascale finished as the program's all-time leader in goals and points, with 79 goals and 160 points in 89 games. He still holds the single-season program record with 52 points in 2002-03.
