On Jan. 26, women's basketball co-captain and Chester, S.C. native Allison Feaster '98 assured her place in sports history by becoming the all time Ivy League women's scoring leader. And on Jan. 31, she became the second Ivy League player and first woman to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in her career.
