Hall of Fame
One of two women's basketball Student-Athletes and three Highlanders to accumulate 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, Karen Bowles ('90) helped lead Radford to three Big South Championships and the league's first postseason appearance (WNIT) in 1989. A three-time first-team all-conference selection, Bowles was named the Big South Tournament MVP in 1990. She currently ranks second in career rebounds (1,012), and at the time of her graduation, was fifth on the all-time scoring list (1,072). Bowles was instrumental in guiding the Highlanders to 84 wins over a four-year span, posting three straight 20-win seasons, including a school-record 25 in the 1988-89 season.
