Entering the Hall of Fame as the all-time leading scorer in BU women's basketball history, Katie Terhune ('04) was the second in program history to have her jersey number (#15) retired. The Port Murray, N.J., native graduated first all-time with 1,971 career points while also owning the top spot for career free throws (489) and career free throw percentage (83.0 percent).

Throughout her four-year career, Terhune averaged 17.1 points per game and scored over 500 points in three of her four seasons, while her 655 field goals and 173 3-pointers rank third and fourth all-time, respectively. The three-time America East All-Conference First Team honoree led BU to three winning seasons, two trips to the America East title game and the Terriers' only conference tournament championship in 2003.

As the only America East Tournament MVP in program history, Terhune led BU to its first NCAA tournament appearance, where the Terriers faced eventual national champion Connecticut in the first round. Terhune later received BU's Mildred Barnes Award at the conclusion of her junior season, given annually to the Terriers' top female student-athlete.
