Hall of Fame
A four-year starter and co-captain in both field hockey and lacrosse as a senior, Gina Profili Hormes was the first Tiger student-athlete to earn All East Coast Conference honors in two sports, excelling on the field and in the classroom, earning recognition for her athletic prowess and academic achievement.
In Towson’s 10-year ECC membership Gina was the only Tiger field hockey player named All-Conference three times and Mid-Atlantic All-Regional three times. She closed out her career with 11 goals and 10 assists. Her four assists were a team high in her sophomore year. In 1988 she was named the ECC’s Scholar-Athlete for field hockey and was also selected to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association National Academic Team.
A defensive mainstay in lacrosse Gina scored 24 career goals with eight assists. In her senior year she led a defense that allowed only five goals per game and went on to capture Towson’s first women’s lacrosse conference championship as the Tigers earned their highest national ranking yet, at 14th. The 11-4 record proved to be the program’s best winning percentage (.733) in the first 35 years of women’s lacrosse at Towson. An All-Conference selection in her junior and senior years, she was an honorable mention All-American in 1990. That same year she was selected as the ECC’s Scholar-Athlete for lacrosse. She was a member of the USA Women's Lacrosse Team in 1989 and 1991.
Gina’s academic success did not go unnoticed at Towson. She was the Souris Award winner and also a Joseph H. McMullen Scholarship Award recipient.
After graduating cum laude with a degree in Physical Education she taught and coached at Loch Raven High School where she directed the Raiders to a state field hockey championship. She then moved on to Fallston High School where she coached lacrosse for nine years and field hockey for six years.
A member of Towson’s Hall of Fame since 2002, in 1996 Gina was inducted into her high school’s hall of fame at the John Carroll School in Bel Air.
After retiring as a CPR Instructor, Gina managed her own fitness training/sports specific-speed agility training business for 22 years. She then became certified as an Orthopedic and Cancer Exercise Specialist. She and her husband, Tim, a hall of fame member at his alma mater Washington College where he was an All-American attackman, have three children; a son, Jake, who was a member of the Tiger men’s golf team, and daughters Abby and Katie, lacrosse players at High Point University.
