“The accomplishments of this group include 10 Olympic Gold medals, three Olympic Silver medals, 10 World Championship Golds, 13 World Championship Silvers, five World Championship Bronzes, an NCAA Championship, a Patty Kazmaier Award winner and an NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player,” said a news release this week from the Academy.
