Lindsay Whalen
Basketball (2000-04)
HOF Class of 2017
If there’s a record kept for Gopher women's basketball, Whalen is likely among the first names on that list. She held the program's career records for points, scoring average and free throws made for 12 years and still ranks second in all three. Whalen is also second in career assists and in the top 10 in at least eight other statistical categories. Whalen is the program's only three-time All-American and led the team to its first-ever Final Four appearance in 2004. She has also enjoyed a decorated professional and international career. She is the winningest player in WNBA history, helping the Minnesota Lynx win three WNBA titles, and has won two Olympic gold medals and two World Championship golds playing for Team USA.
