WEBSTER GROVES – In today's ninth Tuesday Top 5, which delves into some of the top five statistical lists in the history of Webster University Athletics, we look at the Top 5 totals for career rebounds in the history of the Webster women's basketball program. These statistical lists are based on actual rankings by the statistic or category listed with information on each of those student-athletes in the Top 5 rankings.
The career rebounding record for women's basketball is oldest record still standing as the career rebounding mark of 934 rebounds was set by Mikki McCune from 1994-98. In the history of the Gorlok women's basketball program, only five players have recorded 600 or more career rebounds with three of those feats coming since 2001.
