Hall of Fame
The transformation of the Johns Hopkins women's basketball program into a nationally-known and respected program took place in the late 1980s/early 1990s. At the center of that transformation was Kristie Kantowski, who helped guide Johns Hopkins to a 55-26 (.604) record and two trips to the Middle Atlantic Conference Playoffs. The playoff appearances were the first in the history of the program and the 55 wins were the most (by far) in a four-year period in school history to that point.
Kantowski finished her career with totals of 1,060 points, 510 rebounds and 69 blocked shots. She ranked third all-time in scoring, second in rebounds and third blocks when she concluded her career and still ranks among the top 15 in school history in all three categories. Kantowski also finished third in school history in career field goal percentage (.455) and still ranks in the top-15.
A First Team All-MAC Southwest selection as a junior and senior, Kantowski became just the second player in school history to score over 1,000 points and grab over 500 rebounds. Nearly 20 years after her career ended, she remains one of just six players in program history to reach this milestone.
