Justine Allpress (ECU '97) finished her time in the Purple and Gold as the owner of seven combined single-game, single-season and career ECU records. The four-time letterwinner, who played under ECU Hall of Fame coach Rosie Thompson and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Anne Donovan, used her senior season to not only break personal records but to rewrite several Pirate records as well. She finished her career ranked seventh on the school's all-time scoring list (1,226), fifth in assists (326), seventh in steals (178) and seventh in free throw accuracy (71.8 percent). The team's leading scorer during the 1996-97 campaign (15.8 ppg), Allpress was also ECU's all-time leader in three-pointers (166) and, on Dec. 30, 1996, she posted single-game records in points (42) and three-pointers (seven) against Hampton. Both records still stand today. Following her senior season, she earned second-team All-CAA accolades, was selected to the 1997 All-CAA Tournament Team, collected her second CAA All-Academic Team honor, was named ECU Co-Most Valuable Player and was a CoSIDA Academic All-America selection.
