Manhattanville University Athletics

Tammy (McGurk) Comstock excelled in three sports during her time at Manhattanville College from 1993-97, pacing the Valiant softball team to a pair of Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference championships while also leaving her mark with the women’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams.
 
McGurk was a multi-sport athlete at Manhattanville, but she made her biggest mark on the softball field. She finished her career with a program-record .521 on-base percentage and still ranks second in career batting average (.441) and slugging percentage (.676) and 10th in runs batted in (79); she also is fifth in career wins (31) and strikeouts (208) and eighth in earned run average (3.25) as well. She was named Manhattanville’s Female Athlete of the Year as a junior after hitting .409 with a 2.95 ERA, and then followed up with a more impressive senior year, when she hit .507 (36 of 71) with a .588 on-base percentage in addition to going 9-2 with a 1.69 ERA and five shutouts in 74.2 innings.
 
McGurk also made an impact on the basketball court, earning a pair of All-Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference honors and ranking in the program’s top 10 in multiple categories as a four-year starter. A versatile player that played every position on the court, she ranks sixth in program history with 814 rebounds, fifth in steals (200), 10th in blocks (42) and 11th in assists (225). She was a remarkably consistent on the glass, averaging 8.8 rebounds per game in each of her first three seasons and then averaging 8.6 caroms per contest as a senior to become the only player in program history to lead the team in rebounding for four straight years.
 
McGurk showed her versatility by playing one season on the volleyball court as well as a sophomore, leading the team with 143 kills and setting a school single-season standard with 160 blocks that still stands today.
