Heather Cusick-Mygrant

Heather Cusick enjoyed an outstanding career at Taylor and Kokomo high schools before extending that level of excellence at Miami of Ohio.

Cusick played two seasons at Taylor, scoring 636 points, before transferring to Kokomo. Playing for the Lady Kats in 1998 and 1999, she led her
team to a 45-5 record that included two NCC outright titles along with sectional and regional crowns. In her two seasons at Kokomo, Cusick scored
755 points and the Indiana All-Star, closed her four-year career with 1,391 points.

The 5-foot-8 point guard is arguably the finest female player ever at Miami. She appeared in all 116 career games, starting the final 113. She left the
program in 2003 as Miami’s career leader in points (1,728), 3-point baskets (230), field goals (604) and assists (596) while finishing No. 2 in career
steals (307). She posted a career-high 36 points as a senior in Miami’s win at Michigan State.

Cusick was named first team all-Mid-American Conference in 2002 and 2003 and was the MAC Player of the Year in 2002; runner-up in 2003. She
was the only Miami player ever to be named all-conference in each of her four seasons. Cusick was a team captain three seasons and the university’s
female athlete of the year in 2002. She is the MAC’s only player ever to have scored 1,700 points, while collecting 500 assists, 400 rebounds, 300
steals and 200 3-point field goals. A MAC all-academic selection, Cusick’s jersey number (5) has been retired.
