John Falconi '74 - Basketball (New York, N.Y./Iona Prep)
One of the stars of Terry Holland's teams in the early 1970s, Falconi led the Wildcats to the Southern Conference regular-season title in 1972 and 1973 as the team's leading scorer both seasons. He was named to the All-SoCon first team in both seasons as well. Injuries caused him to miss seven games in his senior season, but he still averaged 13.3 points a game and finished his career as the 15th Wildcat to score 1,000 points (1,028). Falconi averaged 15.1 points a game and shot 51 percent for his career. Only nine other Davidson players have been named All-SoCon first team at least twice. He also recorded the only triple double in Davidson history with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists vs. Loyola (Chicago) in 1973. He currently ranks 36th at Davidson in career scoring and 23rd in assists.
Kerry Keith '69 – Football, Wrestling (Falls Church, Va.)
Keith was a two-sport standout, as a fullback on the football team and a star on the wrestling squad. Twice he led the Wildcats in rushing, first with 719 yards on 155 carries (4.6 avg.) in 1967, then with 377 yards on 121 yards in 1968. He also scored nine touchdowns as a sophomore, tying the school record at the time. He finished his career with 1,378 yards rushing (14th all-time) on 353 attempts as well as 16 touchdowns, plus 19 receptions for 225 yards. On the mats, Keith advanced to the national tournament in 1968, earning Davidson's first-ever points at the national meet with a first-round victory. He was the Southern Conference champion at 191 pounds as a senior, one of only six individuals ever to win a SoCon title.
Allison Noznesky Clark '98 – Women's Soccer (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster School)
In her four-year career, Allison Noznesky (1994-97) helped lead the 'Cats to three consecutive Southern Conference Tournament titles. She ranks second on the school's career record lists in minutes played (5900:19), saves (399), goals against average (1.40) and shutouts (18.5). Noznesky is tops on the single-season record list for minutes played (2100:00) and saves (173) and earned Southern Conference Player of the Year honors for the Wildcats in 1996 after she and her teammates won both the SoCon regular-season title and the league tournament championship. The success of the 1996 team was due in large part to Noznesky's impressive performance in the net as she led the conference in goals against average at 1.05, allowing just 22 goals in 19 contests. Noznesky broke out in her sophomore campaign in 1995, compiling 117 saves and a 1.16 goals against average, both ranking in the top-five of the single-season books, while starting all 22 games in goal. She picked up seven shutouts, which ranks fourth in the single-season record books.
Jen O'Brien '00 – Women's Basketball (Middletown, Conn./Mercy)
The all-time leading scorer in school history with 1,510 points, Jen O'Brien was named first-team All-SoCon in 1998 and 2000 and earned second-team honors in 1999. She was named to the SoCon All-Tournament Team from 1998-2000. O'Brien owns Davidson single-game records in scoring, field goals, steals and assists. In addition to the school career scoring record, she owns the school mark for assists (588) and steals (368) and ranks in the top-10 in points per game, field goals made, 3-point field goals, 3-point field goal percentage, free throws and rebounds. She won the Wildcat Award for team MVP honors in 1998 and 2000 and the Rebecca Stimson award in 2000. Davidson posted a record of 61-47 during her four-year career.
