MARY-BRIDGET PAWLIK-BLANDINI ('94): One of the finest athletes ever at Plymouth State, female or male, Mary-Bridget Pawlik-Blandini was a standout on the Panther women's soccer team from 1990-93 and is being inducted in her first year of eligibility. A dominating offensive player, Pawlik-Blandini became PSC's all-time women's soccer scoring leader with 56 goals and 140 points. She led PSC to four straight NCAA Tournament berths from 1990-93, including a pair of Final Four appearances and a combined record of 60-9-4. She received All-America honors in '92 and '93, and was the Little East Conference Player of the Year both years.

A native of North Andover, Mass., Pawlik-Blandini scored a school-record 19 goals as a junior, and came back to break her own mark with 20 goals as a senior in 1993. That year she received her highest honor by being selected NCAA Division III National Player of the Year.
