Hall of Fame
Cheryl (Hubbard) Taplin '87 (Women's Basketball) joins nine other women's basketball student-athletes in the Athletics Hall of Fame. The prolific scorer torched the nets for 900 points and a 55.7 field goal percentage in only two seasons as a Lady Knight, averaging 18.8 points per game. She graduated as Gannon's all-time leader in field goal percentage and currently ranks third. She finished second all-time at Gannon upon graduation in scoring average and 24th in scoring.
The Buffalo, N.Y., native landed on the 1987 Fast Break All-America first team as a senior. Taplin's 42-point performance against Le Moyne on December 13, 1985 still remains the highest single-game total in school history. Her 485 points during the 1985-86 season represents the 13th-highest single-season total in school history, but was seventh-highest at the time. Taplin's 20.2 scoring average during that same season is the eighth-highest single-season total in school history.
