Hall of Fame
A native of Des Moines and a four-year starter at Drake, Bauman became the first woman in NCAA Division I history to collect 3,000 points (3,155) and 1,000 rebounds (1,050), and upon her graduation in 1984, she was the NCAA women’s all-time scoring leader.
During her career, she established 17 Bulldog records, set seven NCAA Division I marks and registered nine NCAA Division I Tournament records. In fact, one of her NCAA tourney records -- points in a game (50 versus Maryland on March 31, 1982) -- still stands.
A first-team Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference choice in 1983 and 1984, she was a Wade Trophy finalist in 1984.
Bauman collected second-team All-America laurels from Women’s Basketball News Service in 1982 and earned second-team Freshman All-America honors in 1981.
A No. 1 draft pick of the Chicago Women’s League in 1984, she is a member of three Halls of Fame -- Iowa Girls High School (1980), Des Moines Register Iowa Sports (1992) and Des Moines B’nai B’rith (2002).
