five different programs during his tenure at the school. 
Few male athletes have come close to mirroring the success of Robert ‘Bob' Monroe, who not only excelled on the baseball field but did likewise on the basketball court. Due to his tremendous skill in two sports, Monroe was a definitive choice to be the first male athlete inducted into the Concordia University Athletic Hall of Fame.
Monroe finished his career on the basketball court with 1,789 points and upon his induction held the school record for three-pointing shooting percentage of 51.7 in 1989-90, a season where he scored 728 points, which is third all-time for points in a season. Monroe made 124 three-pointers in 1989-90 improving upon his 117 in the '88-89 season - which were school records at the time and now rank third and fifth all-time for three-point baskets made in a season.
Monroe showed even more athletic diversity as his success on the baseball field wasn't limited to one area as well as he was both an accomplished hitter and pitcher. At the time Monroe entered the Hall of Fame, he held the school record for batting average in a career with a .408 mark. For his career, had set four other offensive career school records upon his graduation, which all still remain in the top ten in Cardinal lore. Monroe had 192 hits, and currently third all-time; 90 runs batted in, fourth all-time; 30 doubles which is fifth all-time; 9 home runs, fifth all-time. On the mound, Monroe still holds the school record for strikeouts in a career with 177.
Monroe hit over .400 twice in his career as he followed up his school-record .474 average in 1989 with a .431 mark in 1990, which is third all-time while his 73 hits in 1989 remains the best ever for a year.
As a pitcher, Monroe's 74 strikeouts in the '89 season was a school record for one season and remains second all-time.
At the time of her induction into the Concordia University Athletic Hall of Fame, no athlete had put together the vast and storied career that Amy Wilson enjoyed until her graduation in 1998. Wilson was a three-sport star as she excelled in volleyball, women's basketball and softball during her time at Concordia University. It is no surprise that Wilson was chosen as the first female to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
On the diamond, Wilson played in 179 games, which is 10th all-time for a career, finishing with a lifetime batting average of .340 - third all-time. Wilson had 588 at-bats, which was a school record at the end of her career, and his now third all-time. Other career records set be Wilson, but later broken include runs scored with 137, now second all-time; hits with 200, now second all-time; and home runs with three, now sixth; walks with 59, now fifth. Wilson also had eight career triples, which is seventh all-time; an on-base percentage of .405, which is fifth and still holds the school record for career stolen bases with 54.
Her 168 at-bats in the 1995 season is 10th all-time while her .407 average in 1998 is seventh all-time. Wilson reached base via a hit 56 times in the '97 campaign, which is ninth all-time.
Wilson still holds the school record for runs scored when she crossed the plate 50 times in the '95 season as well as holding the top spot for stolen bases with 23 in 1997. Wilson also ranks fourth on the list when she swiped 15 bases in 1995.
Defensively, Wilson was no slouch either as she set a school record in 1996 with a .988 fielding percentage, which now ranks third all-time.
Wilson was named both WHAC All-Conference in all four years as a Cardinal softball player and NAIA All-Region in 1997 and 1998.
Her basketball skills produced a sterling career on the hardwood as well as Wilson enters the Hall of Fame as the record holder in five different categories. Wilson's 37 points against Goshen College on Jan. 20, 1997 remains the most ever for a Cardinal. Wilson was a skilled free throw shooter as her 260 attempts in the '96-97 remain the most in a season and her 193 makes that year is also the school record. For her career, Wilson finished with school records in assists with 464 and steals with 254.
Wilson twiced swiped eight steals in a game, which rank her third all-time in that category.
Wilson finished with 1,875 points (then a school record and currently second), scoring 532 in the '96-97 season, which is fourth all-time. Wilson set the school record as she shot 50 percent from the field in '95-96, which is currently fourth all-time. Wilson's name appears in the top five three times in both free throw attempts and free throws made for a season, while her 103 assists in the '97-98 season is fifth all-time. Wilson finished her career with 813 rebounds, which is second all-time, and 44 blocks, which is fourth all-time.
Not content to be dominant in two sports, Wilson pulled off the trifecta with a remarkable career in volleyball as well. Entering the Hall of Fame in 2009, Wilson still held the school record for career kills with 1,361. For her career, Wilson had 119 career aces, sixth all-time; and 1,517 career digs, which is fourth all-time.
Wilson finished the '95 season with 439 kills, which remains the third highest ever for a Cardinal while her 581 digs that season was the school record for a decade and currently ranks fourth all-time.
The Cardinals set a school record with 42 victories, 21 of them within the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference. The team earned the program's third WHAC Championship, the second-ever appearance in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Regional and the second National Christian College Athletic Association National Championship.
The team was coached by Kori Kennedy, who skippered the team for five seasons, and remains the all-time leader for victories with 154 - an average of nearly 31 wins a season.
The '99 Cardinals remain the school record-holder for two offensive categories: at-bats in a season with 1,648 and hits with 446. Their pitching staff set records for strikeouts with 384 and saves with four. Defensively, the team holds the school record with 1,185 putouts that year.
Individually, many records were set that season as well as Laura Starnes, Stephanie Malik, Kristy Kennedy and Erin Burdis all played in a record 62 games that year. Hollie Nagel had 207 at-bats, Carrie Knight (who transferred in from Eastern Michigan for her senior season) had a .717 winning percentage as a pitcher with a school record 33 wins as well as three saves, 351 strikeouts, 40 starts and 317.1 innings pitched, and 51 appearances- all records.
Jenny Knight, Erin Burdis, Carrie Knight, and Kristy Kennedy were all named to the WHAC All-Conference team. Kristy Kennedy added to that a selection to the WHAC All-Conference Academic team. Carrie Knight finished the season as a member of the NAIA All-Region team as well.
