Hall of Fame
Without question one of the great goalies in Johns Hopkins and Centennial Conference history, Gary Kane, Jr. set a standard in net that will be hard to top.
A four-year starter in goal for then head coach Matt Smith, Kane, Jr. set Johns Hopkins career records for lowest goals against average (.574), games played (79), minutes played (6,745), career wins (66) and shutouts (34); 15 years after he graduated and each of those marks is still a school record.
A three-time All-Centennial selection, he earned first team honors as a junior and senior after grabbing honorable mention status as a sophomore. Kane, Jr. was the Centennial Conference Player of the Year as a senior in 2004 and remains the only goalie in league history to earn Player of the Year honors.
A two-time NSCAA All-Region selection and a First Team NSCAA All-American as a senior, Kane, Jr. led Johns Hopkins to a 69-10-3 record, including a 34-2 mark in the Centennial Conference during his career. He helped the Blue Jays to a pair of Centennial titles (2002, 2004), two trips to the NCAA Tournament and the Sweet 16 in 2004.
Yes, 2004. Kane, Jr. turned in one of the great seasons in Division III soccer history as a senior in 2004, when he posted a .248 goals against average (2nd in the nation), a .909 save percentage and 14 shutouts. He allowed a total of five goals in more than 1,800 minutes that season and helped the Blue Jays rise to number two in the national rankings (a spot they held for seven straight weeks).
