Now living in Appleton, Wisc., Diane Lutz Wilquet ranks as one of the all-time greats in women’s basketball history at South Dakota. A 6’1 point guard, she earned All-North Central Conference twice, despite a severe knee injury early in her sophomore season. As a freshman she was All-NCC in 1985-86, helping lead USD to an 18-10 record and 9-5 NCC mark. She again earned all-league honors in 1988-89, leading USD in scoring at 14.9 per game, free throw percentage (82.1 percent), blocked shots (1.10 per game) and three point shooting (35.5 percent). In both 1985-86 and 1988-89, she was named to the Academic All-NCC squad. Lutz Wilquet is a member of USD’s 1,000-point club with 1,009 points, which is 16th on the USD career scoring list. She is also eighth in career assists with 262 and third in career blocked shots with 68 at USD. Her 32 blocked shots in 1988-89 is the fifth best seasonal total in school history. She earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from USD in 1989.
