WNBA greats Sue Bird, Sylvia Fowles, Cappie Pondexter and Alana Beard headline the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame 2025 induction, announced Friday.

Also inaugurating June 14 will be Union University’s longtime coach Mark Campbell, as well as Lucille Kyvallos, who led West Chester College and Queens College to early success. Danielle Donehew, executive director of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, wrapped up the lecture.

“We are honored to recognize seven outstanding legends of this incredible sport,” said WBHOF President Dana Hart. “They exemplify the highest standards in women’s basketball and have made significant contributions to the sport as well as shaping the historical course of the game.”

Bird won at every level, including five Olympic gold medals, four WNBA titles with Seattle and two NCAA championships while at UConn.

The 12-time All-Star, who also won four world championships in the United States, retires in 2022. This was the season that Fowles ended his playing career.

Fowles won the WNBA title with Minnesota in 2015 and 2017 and was the Finals MVP twice. He was also on four Olympic champion teams with Bird. The former LSU star was named to the WNBA all-defensive team eight times.

Beard was twice named WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. She won the WNBA championship with the Los Angeles Sparks in 2016.

Pondexter won two WNBA championships with Phoenix in 2007 and 2009 and was the Finals MVP for the first time. He won Big East Player of the Year honors while playing at Rutgers and led the Scarlet Knights to a 97-22 record and consecutive conference titles in 2005 and 2006. He won Olympic gold with Bird and Fowles in 2008.

Kyvallos coached at West Chester from 1962-66 and at Queens College from 1968-80 and 1981-82. He won 80.91% of his matches, 311-73. He was coaching Queens when the team was part of the first women’s college basketball game at Madison Square Garden with more than 12,000 fans in attendance.

Campbell has coached at Division II Union University for 26 seasons and went 742-116 at the NAIA school. His team won the NAIA championship in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010.

Donehew has served as WBCA’s executive director since 2014 and has helped the organization grow over the past decade. Prior to that, he worked at his alma mater, Georgia Tech, as well as Tennessee, the Atlanta Dream, the Big East and the American Athletic Conference.
