Several years later, she and her husband, Steve Raab '01, relocated to New Jersey and launched their own competition BBQ team. The pair traveled nationwide representing New Jersey at the food contests, earning more than 150 awards, including five New Jersey State Championship titles and a World Championship Turkey Title. Building on their success in the competitive arena, the duo turned their passion into a business and founded Local Smoke BBQ in 2008.

In her six years as an assistant, Stone helped Lafayette to conference titles in both 2011 and 2012, moving the program to five Patriot League Tournament championships and 10 regular-season titles overall. The 2012 squad, ranked as high as No. 11 nationally, finished 17-3 overall and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
At the helm, she directly contributed to eight Patriot League championship appearances. Most recently, the 2025 squad recorded its third-straight winning season, all resulting in a title match appearance. In 2024, the Leopards (14-7, 5-1 PL) earned an NCAA playoff berth after securing the Leopards' first championship since 2012.

Men's Soccer (1994, 1995)
The 1994 men's soccer team claimed both the Patriot League regular-season title and the tournament crown, finishing the season ranked 21st in the country. In the fall, Lafayette amassed a 13-3-3 overall and 5-0-2 league record and is one of four teams to complete undefeated Patriot League seasons. Lafayette defeated No. 17 Princeton, a returning Final Four team, to enter the national rankings for the first time in program history in mid-September. After holding fourth-ranked Penn State scoreless in regulation, only falling in overtime, Lafayette posted an 11-game unbeaten streak (9-0-2) which included an undefeated run through the Patriot League and a tie in the regular season finale with eventual Final Four participant Rutgers. On Nov. 5, the top-seeded Leopards downed Holy Cross, 2-0, in the Patriot League semifinal. The following day, Lafayette passed Army, 1-0, avenging an upset loss in the 1993 Patriot League tournament, for an undefeated run through the conference championship.

The Leopards ranked as high as No. 10 nationally, the only Lafayette soccer team to enter the national polls.
Lafayette returned nine starters in 1995 to win a Patriot League title, earn the conference's first NCAA tournament bid and advance to the Sweet 16 under first year head coach Nelson Rodriguez. After a 9-6-1 record against a regular season schedule that featured five NCAA tournament teams, Lafayette entered the Patriot League tournament as the second seed with a 4-1-1 conference record. Lafayette bested Colgate 4-1 at Fitton Field in Worcester Mass. on Nov. 4 to open play. Through two overtime periods the next evening, the Leopards knocked off Navy, 3-2, for the 1995 crown with Eric Rosenbloom scoring in the 115th minute to repeat as Patriot League champions. Rosenbloom was tabbed as tournament MVP and Lafayette set a league record with seven goals in a two-game tournament. Lafayette won a dramatic NCAA play-in game against Loyola Md., when Rosenbloom scored in the 88th minute to send the game to overtime, and after trading goals in the two overtime periods, Alexander scored his second goal of the game in sudden death at the 128 minute mark to clinch the first NCAA Tournament berth in Patriot League history. Lafayette drew a trip to Ithaca to face No. 11 Cornell in the Round of 32 at the NCAA Tournament, but snow storms forced the NCAA to move the game back to Lafayette's Metzgar Field. Lafayette held Cornell scoreless through regulation, then Ben Herrera and Rosenbloom answered in overtime to earn the Leopards their first and only NCAA postseason win since 1966. Lafayette's season ended the following weekend in the Sweet 16 against Brown, 2-0. Individually, Dutkewych remained as Defensive Player of the Year while the squad acquired five All-League laurels, including Alexander, the Patriot League's leading scorer with nine goals and 26 points. Hall of Famers Dutkewych and Alexander and Nick Chrisanthon earned NSCAA All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors. Chrisanthon set the Patriot League and Lafayette record with 12 assists, including four in the postseason run. That spring, Dutkewych earned the Charles L. Albert '08 Award as the most outstanding athlete of the senior class. The 1995 soccer team is the only Lafayette team in the Patriot League era to win an NCAA Tournament game and is one of two conference soccer teams to advance to the Sweet 16. The two-year run, which included two tournament championships, had Lafayette finish with a 25-10-5 and 13-1-3 record in Patriot League play.
Francis A. March Jr. 1881 (Father of Lafayette Athletics) (1863-1928)
March was a Lafayette College professor, philologist and early athletics pioneer. He graduated from Easton High School with honors in 1877. In 1881, he received a Bachelor's degree at Lafayette, and later he earned both his Master's and Ph.D. degrees. He followed his renowned father, Francis Andrew March, to teach English and Comparative Philology at the institution, serving on the faculty upon his undergraduate commencement. He was made Lafayette's Associate Professor of Modern Languages in 1884, holding that position through 1891, when he was advanced to Professor of English Literature. In 1905, he became Professor of English Language and held that chair until his sudden death.
March was an assistant in the etymological department of the Century Dictionary, editor in charge of etymology of the Standard Dictionary and editor-in-chief of the Thesaurus Dictionary, as his father had been. He also contributed to many philological journals and is credited with pioneering teaching techniques in English. March notably served as the chairman of the faculty athletic committee (1889-1926) as well as the treasurer of the alumni advisory committee (1891-1907) for the Leopards.
He was active in civic work and functioned as the Mayor of Easton from 1905 to 1908. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternities, the American Philological Association and the Modern Language Association of America. Lafayette's first-ever track team held him as a member in which he recorded the fastest time in the one-mile run (6:12.5) and the 220-yard dash (0:26).
Known affectionately as the "Father of Lafayette Athletics," March was deeply involved with athletics from his undergraduate days through his time as the graduate manager of athletics from 1907-15. His intimate knowledge of the college's sports is recorded in a volume, "Athletics at Lafayette," including his role as chief fundraiser for the building of March Field.
The pioneer married Alice Youngman in 1889 and had a daughter, Katherine March Thomas, and two sons, Francis A. March III and Robert March. March passed away in 1928 while dining at Lafayette's faculty club.
Enshrinement into the Lafayette College Maroon Club Athletic Hall of Fame is truly the highest honor the College can bestow upon its former student-athletes, coaches, administrators, support staff and teams. Of the many men and women who have represented Lafayette in athletic competitions, only 177 individuals and 20 teams have been inducted into the Hall of Fame as of 2025-26. Each year, the Maroon Club hosts a banquet and ceremony on the eve of the Lafayette-Lehigh football game to induct a Hall of Fame class. This year it will be held Nov. 20 in Kirby Sports Center.
