Hall of Fame
Cox played basketball for the women's team from 1986 to 1990. She is the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,075 points and ranks fourth on the school's all-time rebounding list with 787. In her four-year career, Cox averaged 19.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. The 19.6 points per game is also the highest career points per game average by a Nanook women's basketball player.
Cox made an immediate impact during her first year on campus, as averaged 20.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game to earn American Women's Sport Federation All-American freshman team honors. The Illinois native would go on to be a four-time All-Continental Divide Conference selection and she was named the team's most valuable player in each of her four seasons in Alaska.
After graduation, Cox turned down several opportunities to play professional basketball and instead began her coaching career, as she was the graduate assistant coach for the College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York. After earning her MBA at Saint Rose, Cox resumed her playing career, as she was drafted by the Harlem Rockets. She also played on the Empire State Open Women's basketball team, where she was team captain, and won the Triple Crown World Three-On-Three Championship.
