She also ranks second in RBI (102) and triples (11), third in hits (179), tied for fifth in career home runs (16), fifth in stolen bases (41) and eighth in batting average (.335).

Gray, a native of West Mifflin, Pa., was the first woman ever from Robert Morris to qualify for the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) track championships, doing so during the outdoor campaign of her freshman season in 1991 and then repeating the feat four more times (twice outdoors and twice indoors). Twice Gray captured NEC crowns -- the 1991 indoor 55-meter hurdles (8.7 seconds) and the 1992 outdoor 100-meter hurdles (14.93) –- and three times finished as a runner-up in the league (1991 outdoor 100-meter hurdles, 1993 indoor 55-meter hurdles and the 1993 outdoor 100-meter hurdles).

John Kowalski
Men's Soccer Coach (1989-96)

He has come full circle, as he has coached the women’s soccer program at Robert Morris since 2001. Kowalski led the Colonial men’s program to four Northeast Conference regular-season championships and a pair of NCAA Tournaments (1993-94). The 1993 team was the first in Robert Morris history outside of men’s basketball to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Robert Morris ranked as high as 16th nationally (1995) in Division I under Kowalski, and he twice was named NEC Coach of the Year (1992, 1995).
