Susan Marshall, Gettysburg College
Basketball, Softball - Class of 1985
Susan Marshall was one of the most decorated female student-athletes to ever attend Gettysburg College. Marshall was named to the Women’s Sports Federation All-America Second Team during the 1984-85 basketball campaign after finishing 21st in the country with a program-record 20.7 points per game. The effort earned her MAC Player of the Year honors after guiding the Bullets to a second-straight MAC Southern Division title. She was also named to the All-MAC Southern Division First Team, All-ECAC First Team and the All-Mid-Atlantic Region First Team. Gettysburg made back-to-back appearances to the NCAA Division III Tournament in 1984 and 1985. Marshall was also named to the All-MAC Southwest League in 1982-83 and 1983-84. She finished her basketball career as the program’s all-time leader in points (1,457), field goals made (644), field goals attempted (1422) and scoring average (16.2)—all without the benefit of the 3-point line. In softball, Marshall was a three-time All-MAC Southern Division First Team selection as a pitcher. She still holds the program’s career record for lowest ERA (0.89) and fewest walks allowed per seven innings (0.80). Marshall went 26-6 with 111 strikeouts over 220 innings of work. She also played third base and posted a career batting average of .343 with 49 runs scored, 54 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 76 games. Marshall hit a program record .432 in 1982. In 1985, she went 12-1 with a 1.13 ERA while hitting .390 with 22 RBI. She led Gettysburg to the MAC Southwest League title with a perfect 10-0 league record in 1985. They also won the title in 1984. She was named to the MAC100 Women’s Basketball All-Century Team (1912-88) and to the MAC100 Softball All-Century Team (1912-88). Marshall was inducted into Gettysburg’s Hall of Athletic Honor in 1995.
