Swarthmore College Athletics

Danielle Duffy ’98 was a star for both the Swarthmore field hockey and track and field teams. In field hockey, Duffy led the Garnet to three consecutive Centennial Conference Championships (1995, 1996, 1997), the program’s only NCAA Playoff appearance (1996), and the 1997 ECAC Championship. The field hockey program’s all-time leader in career points (235) and second all-time in career goals (68), Duffy was named Centennial Player of the Year three times (1995, 1996, 1997) and All-American in 1996. On the track, Duffy was equally impressive, guiding the Garnet track teams to conference titles in 1997 (indoor) and 1998 (outdoor). She earned eight individual Centennial Conference gold medals during her career and was named the conference’s Most Outstanding Performer in 1997 and 1998. Today, Duffy is a cardiologist and assistant professor of medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. She lives with her husband and daughter in Media, Pa.
