Hall of Fame
Judy Saurer (Women’s Basketball) led the Gannon women’s basketball program to an 88-47 record during five seasons (1985-90) at the helm. Saurer was Gannon’s all-time leader in winning percentage (.652) until last season and was the school’s all-time leader in career victories after her five seasons. She was named East Region Coach of the Year in 1987 and Mideast Collegiate Conference (MECC) Coach of the Year in 1988.
Saurer led Gannon to winning records during her first four seasons. The Lady Knights posted back-to-back 20-win seasons in 1986-87 and 1987-88. The run included the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 1988, where it fell to Army in the first round. Earlier that season, she led Gannon to the MECC Championship with victories over Le Moyne (71-51) and Philadelphia Textile (69-53).
