Over the last nine years, UC has snagged the Mountain East Conference Commissioner’s Cup for Athletic Excellence seven times, has won two NCAA National Championships in soccer, and has claimed multiple Mountain East Conference and regional titles.

Since the institution was first established in 1888, 156 student athletes have been named to the University of Charleston Hall of Fame, the highest recognition for those who have contributed to the history of Golden Eagle Athletics.

On Friday, September 23rd, the University of Charleston Hall of Fame will welcome several deserving players, teams, and supporters.

This year’s University of Charleston Hall of Fame class includes Men’s Basketball player Carl Edwards; Women’s Basketball players Kathi Penczak and Courtney Thomas; Baseball player Robert James Daily III; the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 Women’s Basketball team; and donors John and Fonda Elliot will be recognized for their generous contributions to UC and its athletic department throughout the years. The induction ceremony will take place on September 23rd, 2022, at 6:00 pm in the Emma Byrd Gallery (located in Riggleman Hall).
