Crowley Price was an exceptional two-sport athlete, starting four seasons in field hockey and three in lacrosse.

As a field hockey forward, the two-time All-American graduated with William Smith’s career goals, assists, and points records, as well as the single season mark for assists (12 in 1988). Crowley Price’s 147 points, still stands five better than any other Heron, while her 57 goals and 33 assists stood as the benchmarks for six and 11 years, respectively. During her four seasons, William Smith posted a 62-21 record, earning a spot in four consecutive NCAA Playoffs, including a runner up finish in 1987.

In lacrosse, Crowley Price was a two-time IWLCA first-team All-American and the first Heron to be named the IWLCA Division III Offensive Player of the Year. She earned the honor in 1991 following a senior season that saw her record 58 goals and 10 assists, despite not playing lacrosse during her junior year to study abroad. In each of her three seasons, William Smith won the New York State Championship and reached the NCAA Semifinals, including the 1988 national championship game.
