"Still to this day, I can't believe we lost with no time left by two foul shots to Hope. It makes you want to work every practice and every game harder and harder."
The nucleus of Fisher's successes that breathtaking season was Susan Heidt. The senior scorer finished the season averaging 23.2 points and 82 percent from the free throw line.
