In November of 2013, Madison was inducted into the NFHCA Hall of Fame, the first Virginia coach to receive this honor. Madison, who in 2012 became just the 26th head coach in NCAA Division I history to hit the 300-win mark, currently ranks ninth among active coaches in career wins and has accumulated more wins than any other coach in Virginia program history. During her tenure in Charlottesville, Madison has recruited and coached a pair of four-time All-Americans, Paige Selenski and Elly Buckley. Selenski and Buckley are two of only 11 players in ACC history to earn All-American honors four times and two of 13 players to be a four-time All-ACC honoree. In all, six different Cavaliers have earned 16 All- America honors while playing for Madison. Two of Madison’s All-Americans, Selenski and Michelle Vittese, helped the U.S. National Team to its first gold medal at the Pan American Games in October 2011. Vittese, the 2012 USA Field Hockey Player of the year, and Selenski also competed with the US squad at the 2012 London Olympics and have helped elevate the US squad to a world No. 5 rank- Madison was named the 2012 Coach of the Year in hon- ing in the lead up to the 2016 Rio Olympics. ors announced by the Virginia Sports Information Directors Madison, a former member of the NCAA National Field (VaSID), her fourth time winning the honor.
