Sue Peters
- Induction:

A two-sport star in both basketball and softball, Sue Peters was a Co-SIDA Academic Hall of Fame nominee as well.
Peters set a UMass single-season record for points (587) and scoring average (23.4 ppg). Her 131 free throws made also set a school record, as did her 493 field goals attempted. Peters remains the all-time UMass career scoring leader with 1,858 career points, and her 20.0 points per game average is also the best in school history.
She accomplished her phenomenal scoring feats despite the fact that the NCAA did not institute a three-point shot until after her graduation.
A two-time MVP, Peters was a Kodak Region I All-America selection, and was also a National Scouting Association All-American and All-Senior Game participant.
In softball, Peters finished her career with a .390 batting average, a then-school record-51 stolen bases, and had a career pitching record of 38-2-1, including a no-hitter against New Hampshire in 1980. She played in the College World Series twice and was nominated for the Pan-American Softball Games team.
