Liz McDonough's four-year stay at Boston University's Sargent College was filled with success at many levels and in many different sports.

As an undergraduate, Liz competed in the All-School intramural program, earning first team honors in basketball, fistball, and volleyball. In addition, she received Sargent's Honor Auxiliary Award, the University's Scarlet Key, and Sargent's Twiness Award.

Outside of school, Liz played for the Boston Field Hockey Association and developed into one of the best goalies in club history. She competed in three consecutive national tournaments during her collegiate years, and earned United States honorable mention status in 1956.

However, her devotion to sports was not limited to playing. In 1953, when she obtained her first local rating for basketball and softball, Liz was an official. By the next fall, she had received a national rating in basketball officiating, and a local rating for field hockey. In 1956, she gained a national rating in softball as well.
