Rosie (Luzak) Lamphere is the most prolific goal scorer in Niagara and MAAC women's soccer history. Lamphere accumulated 69 career goals in four years and her 158 career points are second most in program and conference history.

As a freshman, she started in all 18 games, leading the team in goals (14) and points (33) en route to being named MAAC Rookie of the Year and earning a spot on the All-MAAC First Team. The following season, Lamphere led the conference with 46 points, was second in the NCAA in goals per game (1.12) and in points per game (2.71). She was named to the All-Northeast Region Third Team and All-MAAC First Team. 

Lamphere had a record setting junior campaign. The Youngstown, New York native led the NCAA in goals per game and was second in points per game. Her single-season 1.39 goals per game was then the 19th best in NCAA Division I history.  Lamphere set the MAAC single-season record in points with 57, points per game with 3.17, goals with 25 and goals per game with 1.39; she is still the record holder in all four categories. She finished the season earning Second Team All-Northeast Region and All-MAAC First Team honors, as well as MAAC Player of the Year accolades.

Prior to the start of her senior season, Lamphere was named MAAC Preseason Player of the Year for the second straight season. She helped the Purple Eagles advance to the program's first-ever MAAC Championship Final.  Lamphere led Niagara with 11 goals and 23 points on her way to her fourth consecutive All-MAAC First Team selection.

In January 2016, Lamphere was named to the MAAC 35th Anniversary Second Team.
