Amy Hasbrook was a four-year letter winner and three-year starter for the women’s basketball team. After playing 13 games in her first season, Hasbrook started the final 80 games of her collegiate career. The team’s leading rebounder during her junior and senior seasons, Hasbrook totaled 682 rebounds, including 317 on the offensive glass, placing her third among all DePauw players at the time of her graduation; she still ranks sixth at the time of her induction. She led the Tigers in field-goal shooting in each of her final two seasons and finished her career as DePauw’s all-time leading shooter at 65.2 percent. An honorable mention all-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference selection as a junior, Hasbrook was named to the second team as a senior. She earned a spot on the SCAC’s Academic Honor Roll in 1999 and 2000 and was named the team’s best defender each of her final three seasons. During her four seasons, the Tigers were 87-19 and won four conference titles, while making three NCAA Division III postseason appearances. Her love of women’s basketball inspired her to create “GBT,” Greek-letters which stood for Girl’s Basketball Team. Amy was “a relentless worker who set an incredible example on and off the court,” shares Kris Huffman, further describing Amy as the fiercest competitor she has ever coached.
Amy was proud of her time within the community and at Greencastle High School, volunteering with the Kids Best Friends Camp, Little Sisters Program, coaching, and also serving as an officer for Kappa Alpha Theta. Following graduation, she worked as assistant director of basketball operations, communications and championships for the Indianapolis-based Horizon League. Tragically, Amy died Feb. 2, 2002, in a house fire. The women’s basketball team annually hosts a tournament in her name, with proceeds going to the People’s Burn Foundation of Indianapolis. To date, the DePauw Women’s Basketball has raised over $100,000 for People’s Burn Foundation and their Brave Hearts Summer Camps in Amy’s memory. Her brothers and sisters say she was the kindest, nicest, most loyal cheerleader they had.
