Meredith Kerns was a skilled and physical 6-3 center who scored 1,397 career points during her four-year Seahawk career, which ranks ninth on the Wagner all-time points list. The Harrisburg, PA native is also ranked No. 3 in career blocked shots (153) and No. 7 in career rebounds (834). She poured in a career-high 34 points on November 28, 2001 vs. Drexel and her 32-point outburst vs. LIU on March 3, 2001 remains a Seahawk record for most points scored in an NEC Tournament game. As a freshman in 1998-99, Kerns was named to the NEC All-Rookie team and as a senior in 2001-02, was named First-Team All-NEC. She led Wagner to an NEC Tournament in each of her four seasons, including the 2000 NEC Championship game as a sophomore in 1999-2000. Elected in her first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame, Kerns led Wagner to a winning NEC record in each of her four seasons. "There's no doubt that Meredith absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame," said her coach, Tara Gallagher. "She had a tremendous career at Wagner, was both, a great scorer and rebounder. She was one of the best players in the conference during her time at Wagner and was not only a fantastic player, but also a very good student."
