Hobart and William Smith Colleges Athletics

Grupp Smith is the leading scorer in William Smith soccer history and widely considered one of the architects of the Herons’ national championship won the year after she graduated.

Grupp Smith helped William Smith to a four-year record of 61-12-9 (.799), a runner up finish in the 1986 ECAC Championship and a second-place finish in the 1987 NCAA Tournament. Grupp Smith’s 139 career points still stand as the pinnacle of Heron soccer success, 19 beyond the second place scorer. Her 61 goals are 10 better than any other Heron, while her 17 assists placed her third on that list at the time of her graduation (currently 10th).

As a senior, Grupp Smith scored a school record 20 goals, including the William Smith single game mark of four tallies against St. Bonaventure. That season, the Herons earned their first NCAA Tournament appearance.
