Amy Russell Van Eck scored 1,061 career points, the fifth-highest total in school history at the time of her graduation. In 1991-92, she set the single-season record for steals and is Wheaton’s all-time steals leader with 325. Amy’s 450 career assists set a Wheaton record and is currently high on the all-time list and her 616 career rebounds was fourth when she graduated. She was a Third Team All-CCIW selection in 1989-90 and First Team All-CCIW in 1992-93. During the 1991-92 season, Amy helped the Crusaders to a 22-4 overall record, 14-2 in the CCIW and won the conference championship.

Amy said the most important life lesson she learned at Wheaton was teamwork. “Learning how to gel together with all the members of our team, appreciate each others’ individual abilities and encourage one another both on and off the court has been most applicable in my life,” she said.
