Huntington University issued the following announcement on Nov. 11.

On Saturday, November 6, Huntington University inducted Peter Kitchen, Molly Long and Brett Snodgrass into the Forester Athletic Hall of Fame.

Peter Kitchen ('95) was honored for his contributions to the Huntington University men's tennis program during the years of 1991-1995.

After completing a stellar high school career at Battle Creek Central in Michigan, Peter chose to continue his athletic career at Huntington where his contributions were immediate. He is one of just five players in program history to earn four All-Conference honors.

Peter camped out at #2 singles the majority of his time at Huntington where he accumulated 90 wins against just 27 losses. He wrapped up his career with a total of 109 wins in singles play which still stands as a program record for wins in a season.

In doubles action, he split time at the No. 1 and No. 2 spot where he also shined throughout his time in a Forester jersey. Over the course of his four years, he boasted a 101-32 record which is the second most career doubles wins in school history.

As a senior, Peter was ranked 48th in the nation and brought home the conference doubles title. He helped guide his team to four conference championships. He was also a staple at the NAIA national tournament each year and was tabbed All-District three times.

Molly Long ('12) was honored for her significant contribution to the Huntington University softball program during the years of 2008-2012.

A standout pitcher from Logansport High School, Molly's impact on the mound at Huntington was instant. As a rookie, Molly racked up 13 wins and gave up 107 hits and just 32 earned runs while striking out 153 batters. She finished the year ranked 18th nationally in batters struck out per 9 (11.35).

Molly added 18 more wins to her total as a sophomore and earned her first All-Conference badge. She finished the year with an ERA of 1.96 having faced 747 batters and given up just 151 hits, 55 earned runs and 29 walks while piling up 192 strikeouts.

As a junior, Molly was a force to be reckoned with as evidenced by being tabbed the Mid-Central Conference Pitcher of Year. She dominated the competition, limiting batters to a .200 batting average. She posted a 1.22 ERA, the lowest of her career and a single-season school record, to rank 12th among her peers around the country. She finished with 16 wins on the year.

Molly added 16 more wins to her total as a senior in addition to earning her third consecutive All-Conference accolade. With an off-speed pitch that made batters look silly, the Logansport native collected another 155 strikeouts to raise her career total to a program-best 654 Ks.

When all was said and done, Molly finished her career in Forester green with 63 wins, a program record that still stands. She also holds the school record for career starts with 90 and career appearances with 117. She faced 2,357 batters and gave up only 511 hits, 105 walks and 179 earned runs.

Brett Snodgrass ('03) was honored for his significant contributions to the Huntington University men's basketball program during the years of 1999-2003.

Brett played for Coach Steve Platt during some of the Foresters' most successful seasons and is arguably one of the best shooters to go through the program. The sharp-shooter finished his HU career with 323 from deep which included knocking down 108 at a clip of 45.4 percent his junior year.

From day one, Brett was a staple in the Foresters' starting line-up to help lead his team to the national tournament all but one year in addition to collecting three conference tournament championships.

As a rookie, Brett and company logged a program-best 34 wins highlighted by making it to the Final Four of the national tourney. After pouring in 8.7 points per night as a freshman and 12.8 points as a sophomore, the 6-1 guard posted his biggest numbers as a junior by tossing in 16.9 points in addition to posting 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

The Foresters enjoyed a Sweet 16 finish that year with Brett's contributions earning him Second Team All-Conference honors as well as being tabbed an Honorable Mention All-American. As a senior, he tallied 12.8 points per outing to help lead Huntington to an Elite Eight finish at nationals.

Brett completed his career as a Forester with 1,860 points placing him 8th on Huntington's all-time scorer's list. He also collected 892 rebounds and 542 assists while donning green and white. During his tenure, the Foresters collected 105 wins against 42 losses.
