Griffin, the former longtime head coach of the CHS field hockey team, will be inducted in the College Player Category. A 1999 graduate of Watertown High School (CT), she was a four-year varsity player there and received All-State 1st Team recognition in both her junior and senior years. During her four years at Northeastern University, she was a three-time All-Conference 1st Team selection, three-time America East All-Conference, 2002 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, three-time Northeast Region All-American, and received All-American recognition in 2002.
