WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

- Start date
Which includes a semester of JC ball (177) on top of the 4 seasons she was at Francis Marion (3,884).
The lower figure should be correct.
Back in January, I found this site as the Hawkeye player was starting to threaten the records.

The distinction is not made strongly there.

The 3,884 is the figure that appears in the NCAA record book (in the AIAW section).
The school lists 4,061, but at least mentions how she got to that number. As with many women's sports pre-1983, things like record-keeping were pretty loose.
Moore started her collegiate career at Anderson Junior College in the fall of 1975. After one semester at Anderson (eight games and 177 points), she transferred to Francis Marion. Fortunately, the Patriots did not open their cage season until after the first of the year, and thus Moore played the entire 1975-76 Francis Marion schedule. At that time under Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) rules, a player could transfer and be eligible immediately. The 5-7 guard-forward went on to score 3,884 points in a Patriot uniform. Her career point total includes the points scored at Anderson, because at that time in women's basketball, two- and four-year schools regularly competed against each other and all results counted.
That's a good point, although she played at a lower level of AIAW basketball. Woodard played in what is equivalent to Div I so she's the major college scoring champion.
Also, as far as I'm concerned, being super pedantic is the whole point of this message board.

In which case, someone should tell Hawk fans that CC isn't even the highest-scoring Iowan in women's college basketball.
Rock Valley native Deb Remmerde scored 3,854 points for Northwestern (Iowa).
That was the only foul called on the other team . . . the entire game. Trinity had 41 turnovers and only 26 FG attempts.
AIAW didn't have levels. It was one level (with more than 1000 teams). Sure Pearl played against smaller schools since she was at a smaller school, but as for competing for post-season, etc. it was all together in one level.That's a good point, although she played at a lower level of AIAW basketball.

Looking closer, they played the same school (Washington Trinity) earlier and "only" won 56-37, BUT the Trinity roster is completely different between the two games. The second game only has 5 players, none of who were in the first game. I wonder if the entire team quit/dismissed/something and the second set of 5 were just five girls on campus who agreed to be the team. If you watch the video, I don't think any of them even played high school ball by the looks of it.
Deb accepted an offer to play hoops at the University of Iowa.
But, after a semester in Iowa City, she transferred to play for Northwestern College in Orange City.
That's correct. In the early days of the AIAW one of the top teams in the country was William Penn at Oskaloosa.
Where Bill Fennelly was an assistant coach . . . .
My cousins from Indiana used to go to Penn basketball camps when he was there. One almost committed to Fresno when he left WP.
Pearl played at Francis Marion College, named after a Rev. War Patriot nicknamed the Swamp Fox. Please tell me the teams are called Swamp Foxes! The Mel Gibson character in The Patriot was loosely based on Francis Marion.
But did you notice that she stayed in the game until she scored 49 point to surpass Stuelke who had set their single game record of 47 a few nights before? Can't have anyone's name but 'Caitlin' at the top of their record books. That shot came with two minutes left according to the play by play on espn.com. A good teammate, in my mind, would have said let Hannah have her place in the spotlight, too!
The city of Marion, Iowa, is named after Francis Marion. A few years ago Marion decided to do away with the "Indians" nickname, and were looking for a new athletics nickname. They could have gone with the "Swamp Foxes" which was suggested to the board, and which would have been completely badass. Instead they landed on "Wolves". Lame.
