A record-setting offensive wizard, Jennifer Joinnides excelled on the field hockey and lacrosse fields.

A two-time All-American in field hockey, she left Geneva with the career records for goals (59) and points (142) and still ranks second on both all-time lists. When Joinnides recorded 49 points in 1995 (19g,11a), she trailed only Kimberly O’Gorman Menges on the single season list. With 40 points during her senior campaign, she became just the second Heron to finish two seasons with 40 points or more. William Smith posted a 68-18 record (.791) with Joinnides in the lineup, earning four consecutive NCAA Tournament bids.

In lacrosse, Joinnides ranks in the top 10 in career goals (6th, 160), assists (10th, 47), and points (8th, 207). She scored a career-high 55 goals in 1996, while compiling 73 points. The following season, Joinnides doled out a career best 20 assists on her way to a 67-point season and first team All-America honors. That year, she also raised the Heron record for points in a game, burning Denison for 14 on eight goals (tying that single game record) and six assists. Her scoring glut against the Big Red marked the second time in 10 days that she scored eight times in a game, following a similar outburst that left Hamilton blue.
