•Diane Redmond (1975-79), women’s basketball - One of the top floor generals in Norse women’s basketball history, Redmond ranks No. 2 on the NKU all-time career list in assists per game (4.0 apg) and No. 3 in total assists (462). She also scored 862 career points and led NKU to a 28-2 record as a freshman. A four-year starter at point guard, Redmond also was named the team’s most valuable player in 1975-76.

•J.T. Roberts (1993-96), men’s soccer - Roberts combined his strength and quickness with the ball to become one of the best players in the history of NKU soccer. He ranks No. 3 in school history in both goals scored (38) and assists (28). He also led NKU to Great Lakes Valley Conference championships in 1993 and ’95. In addition, Roberts was named All-GLVC four times and earned NCAA Division II second team All-America honors as a senior in 1996.

•Amy Flaugher (1978-82), women’s basketball & softball - Flaugher ranks No. 1 in Norse women’s basketball history in free-throw percentage (.819) and No. 2 in assists (466).

A shoulder injury limited her attacking statistics as a senior, but she still finished with 202 kills that season. Berger was also an outstanding defender and server for the Norse.
