Diane Metzgar Doane was an outstanding basketball player at
Villa Maria High School and at Penn State Behrend. As the
starting point guard in 1981-82, her passing led the team to the
NAIA District 18 Women's Basketball Championship. Doane went
on to dish out over three hundred assists in three seasons, which
still ranks second on the all-time charts.
Doane was much more than a passer, she also put the ball in the
hoop. She still holds the record for the most points scored
in a single game with 33. In addition, her career scoring
average of 13.1 points per game ranks fourth in the all-time
records.
A three-year starter, she was named to the District 18 All-Star squad in each of her seasons. Doane also holds the number two spot in three other offensive categories. She earned 210 career steals, carried a career free-throw percentage of 75, and distributed eleven assists in a game, second best in a single game.
