Alfred University Athletics

Elizabeth (Mott) Rothwell is one of the most accomplished players in the history of Alfred University women’s basketball. She is the career leader in rebounds (1,050) and steals (179) and is third in scoring (1,049 points) at the time of her induction.

She is the only AU basketball player ever (men’s or women’s) with at least 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. 

Her biggest thrill as an AU athlete came in February of 1990 when, in successive games, she broke the 1,000 mark in rebounds and points. She also holds the school records for rebounds in a game (25) and a season (357.)

Rothwell earned her bachelor’s degree in ceramic engineering from AU and a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech.
