Fowles ended her year in the 2007 NCAAs (she had outplayed her in the regular season in a win) and Appel did it her Soph season. And saying players from a quarter century ago would not stand up in the current game is something that you can say about every sport - athletes get bigger, faster, quicker, and better trained, while their equipment also gets better over time. That is especially true for women's sports where the 'investment' has exploded over the last 25 years. When judging them you do it against their peers, and a player like Kara was deemed to be the one of the best players in college when she played, as were those who were voted to All-Americans. [/QUOTE]
