Jackie Isreal

Induction:
2014
Class:
1985

Jackie Isreal made her presence known at both ends of the court during her four-year career on the Spider women's basketball team. Offensively, she scored 1,067 points, good for 18^th on the all-time Spider scoring list. But it is at the defensive end of the court where Jackie left her legacy.

Her record 10 steals in a game against Georgetown in 1984 is still the most ever by a Spider women's basketball player and she has four of the top eight marks for steals in a game. In her four seasons, she finished 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th, and 8^th for steals in a season. She is second on the school's all-time steals list with 289.

During her freshman season, the Spiders went 22-8 and captured the VAIAW State Championship. She went on to be part of three winning teams during her four years. Along with Hall of Famer Karen Elsner, Jackie was selected captain for her senior season in 1984-85.
