Mowins, a groundbreaking sports broadcaster, was inducted into the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 for her distinguished career. The Syracuse native and 1985 graduate of North Syracuse High School joined ESPN in 1994.

 

Mowins has called NCAA championships in basketball, soccer, volleyball and the Women’s College World Series. She has also done NCAA college football play-by-play for ESPN and ABC. In 2017, Mowins became the first woman to call a nationally televised NFL game on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

 

This spring, Mowins became the first woman in Chicago Cubs history to serve as play-by-play announcer.

 

As the emcee of the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame Dinner and Induction Ceremony, Mowins will introduce the eight new inductees for the 2021 class and the team of honor.

 

This year’s inductees are: Jen Hughes (soccer), Tyvon Branch (football), Tim Connolly (hockey), Tori DeSilvia Beardsley (swimming), Pat Driscoll (basketball official), Ed Carlin (wrestling), Tim O'Hara (lacrosse), and Paul Pasqualoni (football coach). The 1982 and 1983 Liverpool High School Boys Football Teams will be recognized as the 2021 Team of Honor - an award that is sponsored by the Romano Auto Dealerships.
