Jackie Ochs-Gregory Texter was one of the top defensive players in women's soccer history.

She received the ODAC Sportsmanship Award (2008) and was honored by CoSIDA Academic All-District in 2007 and 2008.

Ochs-Gregory Texter helped guide the Marlins to a combined four-year record of 66-11-13 overall, 38-1-5 in ODAC competition, the 2006 ODAC Championship, four straight NCAA appearances, and a berth in the national Final Four in 2006. She lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and is a Clinical Supervisor with Pennsylvania Counseling Services.

The 2006 women's soccer team will go down as one of the most prolific squads in Marlin history. The team amassed a record of 18-4-4, shutting out a record 20 opponents and going on a 19-game unbeaten streak from September 9 to November 24.

The team won the ODAC Tournament Championship for the first time in program history, earning them an at-large bid to the Division III NCAA Tournament where the Marlins powered all the way to the Final Four — the farthest the program has ever advanced. At the season's conclusion, seven players were named to the All-Conference teams while Kelly Donnelly was named the ODAC Player of the Year and a First Team All-American.
