Cassandra Overby flourished with the support of her teammates in the early 1980s, earning accolades and setting WSU women’s basketball records.
Overby’s 875 career rebounds set her atop school history as well as placing second all-time for career points and blocks. In 2015, she entered the Washington State University Athletic Hall of Fame alongside former track and field standout Pam Qualls as the first female African American inductees.
