Holly Robason

  • Sport(s)
    Women's Basketball

A vaunted left-handed shooter, Holly (Robason) Beitel turned in the most prolific career that JBU women's basketball had seen to date. Averaging double-figure scoring in each of her four seasons, Beitel was also named a three-time NCCAA All-American, including a first-team selection in her junior and senior seasons.

Beitel's career as a Golden Eagle culminated in the 1990-91 season that saw her average 17.3 points and 4.1 assists per game, seizing the program's all-time scoring record from Holly Wilson '84. Finishing her career with 1,673 points, Beitel's scoring mark wouldn't be eclipsed for 15 seasons and her 670 career field goals for another 28 seasons. To this day, she still owns the program record with 441 assists.

As a sophomore, Beitel helped the Golden Eagles eclipse foe Oklahoma Wesleyan in the NCCAA District VI title game and led JBU to a win over Trinity Christian (Ill.) at the 1989 NCCAA National Tournament.

Over her career, Beitel earned a pair of NCCAA Scholar-Athlete honors, and was named ICAA All-Conference three times. In addition to points and field goals, she held the program record in triples (98), three-point accuracy (35.3 percent) and steals (211) at the time of her graduation. Longtime coach Jack Augustine had Beitel's jersey #10 retired to commemorate her achievements - still the program's only uniform number to be honored in that fashion.
