- Class:

Cassandra Overby was a four-year letterwinning forward that brought a unique combination of size and agility along with a soft touch around the basket that hadn’t been seen at Washington State. Former Cougar head coach Sue Durrant said of Overby prior to her freshman season, “Cassandra is just beginning to tap the talent she has. She will be one of our key players at the post position and has one of the finest shooting touches of any player we have had at Washington State.” Durrant was spot on as Overby, playing from 1980-84, proved to be one of the best scorers and rebounders in Cougar basketball history. The Inglewood, Calif. native burst on to the scene as a freshman, as she earned All-Northwest Women’s Basketball League honorable mention. Overby reached new heights her final two seasons, pacing the team in scoring and rebounds as a junior before nearly averaging a double-double as a senior, earning an AIAW Kodak All-America nomination. Overby finished her Cougar career as the program’s all-time leading rebounder with 875, third in blocks with 81, tied for third with 15 double-doubles and was the second player in school history to surpass 1000-career points, finishing with 1,158.
