WILKES-BARRE — Wilkes University inducted four individuals and one team into its Athletics Hall of Fame in a ceremony recently and one of them was Bishop Guilfoyle graduate Ally Kristofco-Hauer.

One of the most decorated players in Wilkes women’s tennis history, Kristofco’s name is littered throughout the Colonels’ record book thanks to her outstanding four-year career on the court. Kristofco, a 2014 graduate, is the winningest player in program history in both singles and doubles at her time of graduation. She currently stands third overall with a 71-14 singles mark and fourth overall with a 76-16 record in doubles play.

She was a three-time All-MAC Freedom first-team selection while being named the 2013 MAC Freedom Player of the Year and Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player.

Kristofco led the Colonels to four straight MAC Freedom team titles and berths into the NCAA Tournament from 2011-2014. She also won three singles titles and four doubles crowns in the MAC Individual Tournament.

Off the court, Kristofco earned MAC Freedom All-Conference Academic honors and ITA Scholar-Athlete Awards all four years at Wilkes. She graduated with two bachelor degrees in Marketing and Spanish and continued her education obtaining her MBA in 2016 from Wilkes.
