Hall of Fame
A Big South all-conference selection and the league's MVP runner-up in 1986 and 1987, Gretchen Foster ('88) played an instrumental role in Radford's transition to Division I and helped RU to its first Big South Championship in 1987. She was also named to the Big South All-Tournament teams in each of those seasons. Foster's stellar play during her four-year career earned her several in-season all-tournament honors and helped lead the Highlanders to 103 victories, including a school-record 31 wins in 1985. The Highlanders posted a .701 winning percentage during that span and enjoyed an 11-2 regular season mark in their first two Big South campaigns.
