Adela Cejnarova
 
The first women's golfer to be inducted into the BU Hall of Fame, Cejnarova was a four-year standout who graduated as the most decorated golfer in program history. She is the only golfer, male or female, to win three consecutive Patriot League individual championships, earning Golfer of the Year honors from the conference in those years (2015-17). A three-time Academic All-Patriot League selection, Cejnarova was named the 2017 Patriot League Women's Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year and also won the Gretchen Schuyler Award from the University as the top female senior scholar-athlete.
 
Cejnarova, a four-time First Team All-Patriot League honoree, finished her Terrier career with four individual victories. She also helped lead the Terriers to their first-ever Patriot League title and their first-ever trip to an NCAA Regional in 2015. Cejnarova was the 2014 Patriot League Rookie of the Year after finishing second in her championship debut and was named Patriot League Golfer of the Month on five separate occasions. BU finished either first or second in all four seasons that Cejnarova competed at the Patriot League Championship.
 
Meghann Cook
 
One of the top offensive threats in BU women's soccer history, Cook currently owns the program record for career assists at 25 and ranks third with 81 points. The 2005 NSCAA All-America Second Team honoree started all 84 games to help lead the Terriers to a pair of conference titles and NCAA berths. The America East recognized her efforts with four all-conference awards and the team's first Striker of the Year award in 2005.
 
Her freshman season, Cook tallied a team-high four goals and three assists to claim both America East All-Conference and All-Rookie Team recognition. She followed up with six goals and five helpers the following year to help BU sweep the America East's regular season and tournament titles. As a junior, she earned 10 assists, second most ever at BU, alongside nine goals for 28 points. In her final season, she totaled 25 points off nine goals and seven assists, as the Terriers advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for only the second time with a 1-0 overtime win over UConn.  
 
Fiola Foley
 
A two-time All-American and All-New England honoree, Foley demonstrated her athleticism by stroking the women's rowing varsity eight boat to three NCAA team appearances even with a lightweight frame. After stroking the freshman eight boat her rookie season, she took the same seat in the varsity eight boat and helped the Terriers place second in the 1999 NCAA Petite Final for an overall eighth-place finish. BU followed up by winning the 2000 Petite Final and placing third in the same race in 2001.
 
Outside the team, Foley won the lightweight collegiate division at the 2001 Indoor World Rowing Championships (also known as CRASH-Bs) and finished as the fastest collegiate rower in the heavyweight singles at the 2000 Head of the Schyulkill. She also took fourth in the lightweight 1x at the 2000 U23 World Championships and sixth in the same event in 2001. Recipient of BU's Buff Donelli Leadership Award, she won three events (1x, 2x, 8+) at the 2000 Irish National Championship and later took 16th at the 2003 World Rowing Championships in the lightweight 2x.
 
Ally Hammel
 
The only two-time First Team All-American in program history, Hammel was an instrumental part of the Terriers' success at the end of the 2010s. She helped BU claim three Patriot League titles (2015, 2017, 2018), earning Most Outstanding Player accolades after the 2018 conference tournament. Hammel is the only Terrier in program history to be chosen as the NFHCA Northeast Region Player of the Year, receiving that recognition in both 2017 and 2018 while also being named to the All-Northeast Region First Team in those years.
 
Hammel, who represented the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, has been a member of the U.S. National Team since 2019. She was two-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year (2017-18) after beginning her career as a forward. In her first season on the Terrier back line, she helped BU lead the nation in goals-against average (1.18). Hammel is one of just two First Team All-Americans in Patriot League history.
 
Tim Masick
 
A standout pitcher, Masick is the first inductee to play only baseball at BU, with multi-sport Terrier legends such as Harry Agganis, Mickey Cochrane, Tom Gastall, Bruce Taylor and Herb Wakabayashi also dedicating time to football, basketball or hockey. A multi-sport athlete in high school, Masick turned down multiple overtures from professional baseball scouts so that he could pursue a college degree. He posted a combined 10-4 record on the mound to help the Terriers reach two NCAA tournaments his final two seasons.
 
After striking out 34 batters in 42 innings of work for a 2-2 record and 1.93 ERA as a sophomore, Masick went 4-1 with a 0.90 ERA his junior season. He tallied 33 strikeouts in 48 innings and collected notable wins over Harvard, Boston College and Tufts to help the Terriers claim their first NCAA appearance in 12 years. BU earned back-to-back NCAA berths for the first time in program history the following season, as he went 4-1 (2.52 ERA) with victories over BC and Northeastern. Named a Greater Boston League All-Star, he added a win over Dartmouth in the 1969 NCAA opener.
 
Marisa Ryan
 
The first woman to twice be named America East Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Marisa Ryan was one of the finest distance runners in school history. She helped BU claim three America East indoor titles, the program's first America East outdoor title in 15 years, as well as three America East cross country crowns during her sensational career. In addition to twice being selected as the conference's Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Ryan received Scholar-Athlete of the Year recognition six different times across the cross country, indoor and outdoor disciplines. 
 
Along with BU Hall of Famer Christine Stief, Ryan is one of just two women to be named America East Indoor Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year three straight years, with Ryan doing so while earning her medical degree as the only student-athlete to ever be admitted to Boston University's Seven-Year Accelerated Medical Program. Ryan was a two-time All-American in 2008, finishing fifth in the 3,000m run at the NCAA indoor championships before posting a fourth-place performance in the 10,000m run later that year. The 2007 America East Woman of the Year also qualified for the 2006 NCAA Cross Country Championships and combined for 10 all-conference selections across all three seasons.
 
Anne Sheridan
 
One of just three First Team All-Americans in program history, Anne Sheridan is arguably the best goalkeeper to ever wear the Scarlet & White in women's lacrosse. In 2005, Sheridan was named an IWLCA/US Lacrosse and Inside Lacrosse First Team All-American after leading the country with a .573 save percentage. She backstopped BU to an overall record of 18-2 as the Terriers captured the America East regular-season and tournament titles before earning their first-ever NCAA Tournament win, a 12-6 victory over Colgate.
 
Sheridan, a three-time America East champion, was the conference's Player of the Year in 2005 and was nominated for the Tewaaraton Award, given annually to the top player in Division I lacrosse. She also received the Ensign C. Markland Kelly Jr. Award as the USILA Goalkeeper of the Year. Sheridan was a two-time First Team All-Region selection (2003, 2005), earning First Team All-America East accolades those years.
 
Tony Simms
 
A standout guard, Simms totaled 1,220 points over a three-year period for a 15.8 ppg average and led the Terriers to their first NCAA appearance in 24 years in 1983. The Toronto native made an immediate impact his sophomore year after transferring from Pensacola (Fla.) JC, posting a team-high 14.7 ppg to claim honorable mention UPI All-New England recognition. After averaging 13.2 ppg as a junior, Simms posted the second most points ever by a Terrier at 576 (18.6 ppg) while setting a still-standing program record with 76 steals to garner honorable mention AP All-America honors.
 
Inducted into Canada's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 alongside NBA legend Steve Nash, Simms proudly represented Canada for 10 years, first helping his squad win gold at the 1983 World University Games in Edmonton. He led Canada to a fourth-place finish in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and also competed in two FIBA World Championships (1982, 1986). Selected by the New York Knicks in the 1983 NBA Draft, he would go on to play professionally in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Philippines and Mexico.
