The Boston College women’s basketball record book is filled with Carolyn Swords’ name atop many of the program’s greatest single-season and career accomplishments. The program’s second all-time leading scorer at 2,029 points recently wrapped up a nine-year WNBA career and seven-year professional career abroad in Europe and Australia. Swords claimed All-American Honorable Mention, All-ACC First Team and earned the ACC Postgraduate Scholarship as a senior in 2011. She also received All-ACC Second Team, Honorable Mention and Rookie Team honors in her career. Swords is BC’s all-time leader in rebounds (1,159), blocks (178) and games (133) and is the only member of the 2000-point, 1000-rebound club. She owns the top three single-season rebound performances all-time at BC with a record 316 in 2009 and top four single-season field goal percentages with a record 71.4% in 2011; leading the NCAA each year from 2009-11. A two-time captain, Swords capped her BC career as the 2011 Eagle of the Year.
