USF Athletics

A three-time All-BIG EAST selection who earned first-team honors during the 2008-09 season, Grace was a standout guard and is the third student-athlete from the women’s basketball program to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining Wanda Guyton (Class of 2009) and Jessica Dickson (Class of 2012).

She was named the most valuable player of the 2009 WNIT after leading the Bulls to the championship title. The guard led USF in assists for four straight seasons and in scoring for two seasons while setting program career records for assists (610) and starts (129).

Grace stands third all-time in scoring (1,941), seventh in steals (194), fifth in three-point percentage (.356) and fourth in games played (132) at USF. Her 44 points vs. Coppin State in 2008 stand as the Bulls’ single-game scoring record and she posted two of the top-10 scoring seasons and three of the top-10 assist seasons in program history.

Grace went on to play professionally in Poland and is now the head basketball coach at Booker High School in her hometown of Sarasota.
