Seventeen years after her departure, this two-time All-Region XXIV pick still held 10 Lady Warrior records when she entered the RLC Sports Hall of Fame. She also holds the unique distinction of being All-Southern Illinois College Conference as a freshman and All-Great Rivers Athletic Conference as a sophomore. A 5-foot-7 guard, she was a unanimous all-region choice shortly after concluding her Juco career with team records with 1,368 points scored and a 23.6-point average in 58 games, as well as 611 field goals in 1,227 attempts. Career standards were established on the strength of a sophomore campaign in which #22 set similar records for points (849), scoring average (24.3) and field goals made (372) and attempted (767). Ranked second in state as freshman, sixth nationally, for point production. Mt. Vernon Township High School grad – where she ironically scored 1,369 career points – is one of four Lady Warriors to net a record 16 field goals in one game; she did it five times, including a game against Southeastern Illinois during the 1982-83 season in which she also set records for most attempts (32) and points (40, a mark that stood until 1989-90 and rated second all-time at the time of her induction). Tallied 36 as freshman vs. Monmouth, 36 and 35 (both vs. Lincoln Land) as soph. Played her last two seasons at Eastern Washington.
