JOY BARRY '93

Basketball

One of the premier players in Greyhounds history JOY BARRY dominated the Northeast-10 Conference for two years and then tore the ACL in her right knee in a summer league game. Although she returned a year later, and played exceptionally well, the days of her domination had ended.

She averaged 21.1 points and 12.9 rebounds in 1990-91 leading the Greyhounds to a team-record 16 wins and a fourth-place finish in the Northeast-10 Conference playoffs. It was a year to remember for Barry as she became the first Greyhound to earn first-team Kodak all-America honors and was a finalist for Champion National Player-of-the-Year honors. She was also named first-team all Northeast-10, first-team E.C.A.C. Division II North and first-team W.B.C.A. all District. She was the Player-of-the-Year for both the E.C.A.C. North and the Northeast-10 Conference.

The year was full of superlatives . . . sixteen 20-point games, four 30-point games, two 20-rebound games . . . a triple-double vs. Saint Anselm (16 points, 14 rebounds, 10 blocked shots) . . . 34 consecutive free throws . . . a record 60 points in back-to-back games . . . and, the only 600-point season (634) in Hounds' history.

She averaged 14.8 points and 9.8 rebounds as the top first-year performer in the conference in 1989-90. She was named the winner of the Laska Award as the premier female Athlete-of-the- Year in both 1990 and 1991 and was twice the Most Valuable Player of the team (1989-90, 90-91). She captained the team in both her junior and senior years.

At Nashua High School she led her team to four consecutive undefeated state champion-ships. She received her Bachelors in Psychology from the College in 1993. A 1996 graduate of the University of Massachusetts Lowell School of Nursing, she is currently a Registered Nurse, working at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, MA. She is a member of the National Nursing Honor Society.
