Macalester to induct five into its Athletic Hall of Fame Saturday
On Saturday, Oct. 16, Mac’s M Club will induct five newcomers in the Athletic Hall of Fame. The 2010 Macalester Hall of Fame class is made up of: Mark Abboud ’92 (soccer), Adam Burke ’92 (swimming), Nikki Epperson ’96 (soccer / basketball), Brook Epperson ’98 (soccer / basketball) and Tawni Epperson ’99 (soccer). The 31st annual M Club Hall of Fame Banquet will be held at the Alexander G. Hill Ballroom at Kagin Commons on campus and will begin at 6 p.m.Mark Abboud ’92
Soccer
Mark Abboud was a three-time All-MIAC athlete and one of the most prolific goal-scorers in conference history. As a first-year student, Mark and his classmates future M Club Hall-of-Famers Matt Jackson and Roger Bridge led Macalester to its first MIAC championship in soccer. The Scots took another MIAC championship trophy in his junior season as Abboud scored 15 times and led the conference in goals. As a senior, Mark established a school record that still stands today with 24 goals scored, bringing his career total to 56—a mark that stood for 10 years and is still No. 2 on the all-time Macalester chart. He is fourth in the record book with 23 career assists. The Scots were 32–5–3 in MIAC matches during Mark’s four seasons at Mac. After graduating from Macalester, he played 10 seasons professionally with the Minnesota Thunder.
Adam Burke ’92
Swimming
Adam Burke is one of the most accomplished swimmers in the Macalester men’s program over the last 25–30 years and was an All-MIAC performer all four years as a Scot. Adam swam to NCAA Division III All-America status as a senior in both the 200-yard freestyle and 1650-yard freestyle, a rare double of sprint and long-distance achievement. Adam held Macalester school records at the same time in the 50-yard freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 free, 500 free, 1000 free and 1650 free, and two decades later still tops the Macalester record book in freestyle distances of 200, 500, 1000 and 1650 yards. His 200 free time at the 1992 Nationals was the fifth fastest time in the nation that year.
Nikki Epperson ’96

The first of the three All-America Epperson sisters to enroll at Macalester, Nikki was the program’s first four-time All-MIAC player, and, along with Hall-of-Famer Jenny Scanlon and younger sisters, Brook and Tawni, helped turned the Scots into a conference and national power. She was named to the All America team as a senior and when her career was over, had compiled 49 goals (third on Mac’s all-time list) and 26 assists (fifth on the career list). Nikki helped guide the team to a pair of NCAA playoff appearances, and the team went 39–6–3 in the conference during her Mac career. Nikki also was a four-year letter-winner for the Macalester basketball team and is currently 13th on the school’s all-time scoring list with 887 career points.
Brook Epperson ’98
Soccer/Basketball
A three-time all-region pick and four-year All-MIAC selection, Brook Epperson was named conference Player of the Year in 1997 after leading Macalester to a perfect 10–0 league record and 19–2 overall mark as one of the nation’s top teams. The Scots lost just five MIAC games in four years with Brook on the field, and the team’s four-year slate was 59–16–5. A two-time All-American, Brook is Macalester’s record holder in career assists (42) and single-season assists (18 in ’97), and is sixth in career goals (33). She was named Macalester M Club Athlete of the Year as a senior.

Tawni netted the game-winning goal in the fourth overtime period of the NCAA title match against the College of New Jersey for her 46th and final goal as a Scot. She’s fifth on Mac’s career goal-scoring list and is ranked eighth in assists. Tawni was named MIAC Player of the Year one year after sister Brook was selected, and in four seasons suffered just three conference defeats. The Scots were 69–11–5 during her four years on the team.
