Athletics Hall of Fame
Kirsten Lawrence, a four-year participant on the Saint Anselm women's tennis program, graduated from the Hilltop in 1996. The lone NE10 Player of the Year in Saint Anselm history, Lawrence posted 38 singles and 28 doubles victories for the Hawks, including a 31-10 singles record across her final three seasons of play.
At No. 1 singles for the Hawks, Lawrence won 25 career matches and held the top spot in that category until the last decade. She was voted as the league's top player in 1995 and finished her senior campaign as the runner-up at the NE10 Championship in the No. 1 singles flight.
As a two-time team captain, Lawrence guided the Hawks to two of its finest back-to-back seasons in team history – in 1994 and 1995, the team won 19 out of a possible 22 matches as she was a finalist for Student-Athlete of the Year honors as a senior. In total, Saint Anselm compiled a 34-12 (.739) record with Lawrence on the team.
