Cardinal Hall of Honor
A trailblazer in LU women's athletics, Thomas broke the color barrier for the women's basketball team in 1974. The first African-American female basketball player in school history, Thomas would go on to be a four-year letterwinner, and would graduate as the school's second all-time leading scorer (1,268 points) – a mark which still ranks among the program's all-time top 10. Thomas also left LU second all-time in career field goals (508) and free throws (252). Considered a program workhorse during the late 70s, Thomas set a school record for games played (104) and guided the Cardinals to three 20-win seasons, 79 combined wins, two AIAW Regionals tournaments and the 1975 TAIAW Zone Championship.
