1982 Team
In conjunction with the inaugural Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, the 1982 Lady Knight basketball team will receive special recognition. It was this team that put together a 25-7 record, remained in the Top 10 all season and captured the only national championship in Rutgers’ basketball history. The team silenced critics that felt that the loss of All-American center Kris Kirchner and Wade Trophy finalist Joanne Burke, in addition to the uncertainty of June Olkowski’s knee injury, would be too much for the team to handle.
