MSSU Athletics Hall of Fame
Missouri Southern recognizes these players and coach for their innovation, merit and accomplishments as the first women's athletic team. The 1974 Women's Basketball team and Sallie Beard piloted women's athletics by working within the community and Missouri Southern to create the opportunity for women within athletics. Following basketball in the fall of 1974, the university developed women's tennis and softball teams the next semester.
