Middlebury College

Emily Bracken, a member of the Class of 1998, was one of the most decorated players to go through the women’s lacrosse program.
 
Bracken remains Middlebury’s career saves leader with 708 in her career, while also ranking second with a .630 save percentage. She owns the top two spots in single-season saves while holding down four of the seven best save totals in a single game, including tying for first with 22. During her final two years, she ranked in the top-10 places nationally in goals against average, save percentage, and total stops. 
 
Bracken was named the 1998 BRINE/College Lacrosse USA Division III Women’s Player of the Year. She garnered the NCAA Division III Goalie of the Year accolade twice, while she was a four-time All-American. Bracken was awarded the C. Markland Kelly Award, presented to Division III’s top goalie, and she was tabbed to the NCAA All-Tournament team.
 
She posted a career record of 56-11, helping guide the program to its first NCAA Championship during her junior campaign. The Panthers participated in the national tournament four times, advancing to the NCAA Semifinals each year, with two appearances in the title game. 
 
Bracken also played on the women’s tennis team for two years.
