St. John Fisher University Athletics

Hughes stamped her name all over the St. John Fisher women's lacrosse program's record book while starring for the Cardinals from 2011-14. A second-team Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-American as a senior, Hughes tallied an Empire 8-record 304 career points on 217 goals and 87 assists. Her 217 goals are still the most by a player in program history, while her 87 assists stood as the program record until 2017.

Chosen as Empire 8 Rookie of the Year in 2011 and Player of the Year in 2014, Hughes set program single-season records for goals (72) and points (102) in 2012. She earned first-team All-Empire 8 and first-team IWLCA All-Region honors three times. 

Hughes helped the Cardinals capture three Empire 8 championships and advance to the NCAA Tournament three times.
