John Carroll University Athletics

Darlene Sheehan, who was named a Kodak and AWSF All-American in 1994, was part of the most successful era of women’s basketball in school history. During her career, the Blue Streaks posted back-to-back 20 win seasons (1992-93 and 1993-94) for the first time since the sport’s inception at John Carroll in 1970.

Sheehan, who was part of the last senior class to be a part of four consecutive winning seasons, was recognized three times on the All-OAC women’s basketball team. She was named first team as a junior and second team as a senior, and honorable mention as a sophomore.

The team’s Most Valuable Player as both a junior and senior, Sheehan finished her career ranked second all-time in JCU history with 1,494 career points and 281 assists.  At the time of her graduation she held the school record for career three point field goals made and attempted in a career, and three-point field goal percentage in a season -- and is still third all-time in points scored.

Sheehan was the high scorer in 14 of the Blue Streaks 26 games as a junior and 12 of 25 games as a senior.  She was a four-year letterwinner and starter.
