She was in the vanguard of what would become the dominant girls' hoops program in San Mateo County History. A four-sport athlete at Sacred Heart Prep, she was California's Division V (small school) basketball player of the year in 1993 when the Gators won a state title with a 37-0 record. She went on to a four-year career playing at UC-Berkeley." |
