CIAA Hall of Fame Members
LaKisha Phifer-Patterson is known as one of the greatest shot blockers in women's college basketball for her career at Saint Paul's College (1995-1999). She started off her career being named CIAA Rookie of the Year while earning All-CIAA team honors in 1996. On January 23, 1996 versus Virginia Union University, she set the NCAA record for all men's and women's divisions with 20 blocks recorded in a single contest. That year's performance also led her to set two NCAA single-season records in all divisions when she recorded 219 blocked shots for an average of 8.8 blocks per game. In just three seasons with the Tigers, the 6-1 center tallied 876 points, 836 rebounds, 108 steals, and 77 assists. Phifer-Patterson set the NCAA women's basketball career record for all divisions recording 533 blocks, an accolade that has only recently been surpassed by 4-year performances.
