Western Carolina's Record-Setting Senior Steal Queen from the Early 2000s
April Fleck, a guard for the Western Carolina Catamounts women's basketball team around the 2000-2001 season, etched her name in school history by setting the all-time steals record with six in her final home game, while reaching the 1,000-point milestone against Coastal Carolina and hitting career-highs of 24 points twice. Her relentless defensive intensity and rebounding grit (like nine points and seven boards in a tough loss) made her a standout senior leader, though turnover issues highlighted areas for polish—ideal for teams seeking a tenacious, high-energy perimeter defender with proven scoring punch.
