Katy Meyer
Webster University alum Katy Meyer becomes the third Gorlok women's basketball player to be honored by the SLIAC Hall of Fame. Meyer played for the Gorloks from 2007-11 and made an impact on the court, in the classroom, and in the community. Meyer was a finalist for the prestigious Josten's Trophy in 2011, one of just three finalists in conference history. She finished her career third on the program's all-time scoring list with 1,194 points and was named All-Conference all four years and the SLIAC Tournament MVP as a senior.
Meyer still ranks first in program history in three-pointers, first in three-point percentage, fourth in rebounds, and sixth in scoring average. During her time at Webster, she helped the program increase their win total each year, culminating with 17 wins as a senior and leading her team to just its third NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. In the classroom, Meyer earned SLIAC All-Academic honors three times and graduated with a degree in Political Science and Spanish. Meyer also spent time volunteering at a local shelter for battered women and worked at the International Institute, assisting refugees. Since 2014, Meyer has been teaching in Italy and continuing her basketball career, currently playing for a semi-professional team in Italy.
