A two-sport athlete at Roanoke, Alison Ogelsby Farrell played field hockey and lacrosse for the Maroons from 1994-98. 

In field hockey, she was a three-year All-ODAC and All-Region selection.  Her hard shot and anticipation skills made her a scoring threat at all times.  She ended her career second in scoring , with a total of 94, in goals at 39 and ninth in assists with 16.

In lacrosse, the Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, native was a three-year All-ODAC, All-State, USWLA All-Region and All-American selection.   Arguably the best lacrosse player in College’s  history, Ogelsby Farrell finished her career as the school’s all-time leader in points (298) and goals (253).  She led the Maroons in scoring all four years and broke her own school-record in goals twice, including 76 in her senior 1998 year which stands today.  Her success carried over to the team, winning three-straight ODAC Titles and two NCAA Tournament Appearances.  She led Roanoke to a 36-21 record, 22-9 in the ODAC in field hockey and a 46-16 mark, 26-3 in the conference in lacrosse.

Ogelsby Farrell currently resides in Haverford, Pennsylvania with her husband, Tom, and works with a real estate firm.
