DAYTON -- The University of Dayton Athletic Hall of Fame will grow by four on Saturday, March 5 when the 2022 class is introduced at halftime of the Dayton-Davidson men's basketball game.  The ceremonies on March 5 will bring the total membership in UD's Hall of Fame to 189.  

The new members are Mike Harmeyer (football), teammates Andrea Hoover and Ally Malott-McCarthy (basketball) and Mike Tucker (women's soccer coach).

The philanthropic benefactors of the University of Dayton Athletic Hall of Fame are Kurt and Joyce (Mahrt) Friedmann.
  

MIKE HARMEYER '86 – Football 1983-85 

Mike Harmeyer was the defensive star of the 1984 team that allowed a total of 92 points in 11 games and lost to eventual national champ Augustana 14-13 in the NCAA Division III playoffs

He had 16 sacks, 15 TFL, eight fumbles caused, six fumbles recovered and even an interception from his middle guard position.  The Cincinnati Moeller High School product still holds school record for fumbles recovered in a single game (3).

Harmeyer was a two-time Pizza Hut NCAA Division III All-American.  He was a 1985 team captain & the 1985 winner of the Sheriff "Beno" Keiter Four-Year Award.

"Moby" as he was known in his playing days, is retired from the financial investment industry. He currently resides in Reading, Ohio.


ANDREA HOOVER '15 – Basketball 2011-2015 

Andrea Hoover's journey from unheralded recruit to being part of the best 1-2 punches in Dayton women's basketball history has now ended in the University of Dayton Athletic Hall of Fame. 

Hoover finished fourth in career scoring with 1,848 points a game for the Flyers, with career averages of 14.6 points and 5.6 rebounds a game.  She has the best career rebounding average of any guard in UD history and holds the UD single-season record for FT% (.936, 117-125).

While the stats are nice, it was the winning that set her and teammate Ally Malott-McCarthy apart.  Hoover played on four NCAA teams, and was a big part of the class with the most NCAA tournament wins (4).  

During her senior year, she was part of the team that defeated Iowa State, Kentucky and Louisville in the NCAA tournament before losing in the Elite Eight to UConn.  She was part of four A-10 regular season championship teams.

Andrea is now a Cost/Price Analyst for the United States Air Force.  She and her husband Jake live in Bellbrook, Ohio with their two daughters.


ALLY MALOTT-McCARTHY'15 – Basketball 2011-2015

Ally Malott-McCarthy was UD women's basketball's first McDonald's High School All-American, and while her path to UD was different than teammate Andrea Hoover, their journey together led to championships, the WNBA and now the UD Hall of Fame.

Malott ended her collegiate career seventh in career scoring (1,504 points) and eighth in career rebounding (824).  She averaged 11.8 points and 6.5 rebounds in her four season, and led the team in rebounding in her last three.  She also finished seventh in career blocked shots (104).

She helped lead the Flyers to heights they had never achieved before, reaching the Elite Eight in 2015 with wins over Iowa State, Kentucky and Louisville before falling to UConn.  She played on four NCAA teams, and was part of the class with the most NCAA tournament wins (4).

Ally is the Operations Director at the Atrium Family YMCA in Middletown, Ohio.  She and her husband Andy were married in September, and they live in Middletown.  


MIKE TUCKER – Women's Soccer Coach 1995-2016

Mike Tucker is the all-time winningest coach in UD women's soccer history, with 313wins, 124 losses and 33 ties.  He is third in victories among coaches in all UD sport and his .736 winning percentage is the fourth-best winning percentage of any UD coach. 
 
As the Flyer women's soccer head coach from 1995-2016, he won 20 Atlantic 10 regular-season or tournament championships.  He was five-time Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, and had seven Flyer All-Americans play for him.

He coached 61 First Team All-Atlantic 10 selections in his 22 seasons. The Flyers had 22 Atlantic 10 Offensive Players of the Year, Defensive Players of the Year, Midfielders of the Year and Rookies of the Year in that same time.
