AUDREY CODNER TO ENTER BIG FIVE BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME
PHILADELPHIA One of the keys to the success of the St. Joseph's
women's basketball team in the early 1990s, Audrey Codner
(Philadelphia, PA./Cardinal Dougherty) will be inducted into the
Philadelphia Big Five Hall of Fame on Saturday, January 27, during
halftime ceremonies of St. Joseph's game against Pennsylvania at The
Palestra.
A four-year standout for SJU, Codner helped to lead the Crimson and
Gray to four straight City Series titles, including three outright crowns.
She twice garnered all-Big Five honors during her career.
Codner's best seasons on Hawk Hill came during her sophomore and
junior years. As a sophomore in 1991-92, she earned first team all-Big
Five and second team all-Atlantic 10 honors after averaging 16.0 points
and 7.0 rebounds per game. During her junior year she was a second
team all-Big Five choice and third team all-A-10 pick. That year she
averaged 12.1 points and 4.2 boards.
As a senior, she was a preseason first team all-A-10 selection, but
sacrificed personal success for the good of the team, averaging 6.0
points and 3.1 caroms. The Hawks, however, went on to earn a NCAA
Tournament berth, SJU's first since 1990.
Codner concluded her career as the Hawks seventh all-time leading
scorer (1,092 points) and tenth all-time leading rebounder (491
rebounds). She presently ranks 14th in each category, respectively.
After graduating from SJU, she went onto play professionally in both
Sweden and England.
