1972 Women's Basketball | Team of
Distinction
It is only fitting that the 1972-73 women’s basketball
team be recognized as QC’S first “Team of
Distinction.” Coached by a Queens College Hall of Famer,
Lucille Kyvallos, and led on the court by future Olympian, Gail
Marquis, the team posted a 22-5 record, advancing to the AIAW
Championship and a #2 national ranking. The roster included Debbie
Mason, Cathy Andruzzi, Maggie Hilgenberg, Maryann Jecewiz, Shirley
Johnson, Yvette Pierre, Judy Milewski, Barbara Riccardi, Nance
Rullo, Judy Spinal, Maureen Steurer, Rachel Wells, and Connie
VanHousen.
