COURTNEY ALBERT ('03): A three-time yearly scoring leader and the all-time leading scorer in Plymouth State women's basketball history with 1,711 points, Albert was the inside force on the successful Panther teams of early this decade.  She was the backbone on teams that registered four straight 20-win seasons from 2000-03 and captured back-to-back ECAC Championships in 2002 and 2003.

A 5-9 forward from Hudson, N.H. (Alvirne H.S.), Albert broke on to the scene as a freshman, earning the Little East Conference Rookie of the Year honor in 2000.  She went on to lead the team in scoring three times, and was named First Team All-LEC, First Team All-New England and Honorable Mention All-America as a junior and a senior.  She also was honored for her work in the classroom, being selected to the 2003 Verizon Academic All-District I First Team in the College Division.

Albert helped the Panthers to an 84-33 record in her four years, including a program-best 23-8 mark as a senior.  She led the team to the ECAC New England Tournament berths all four years, capping her final two seasons with victories in the ECAC championship game.
