Throughout the entire month of February MiamiRedHawks.com will be celebrating Black History month by honoring former student-athletes. Today's spotlight is on former women's basketball player Tonia Stubbs.
Stubbs led Miami to two MAC Championships (1982 and 1983) and a MAC Tournament title (1982). She is one of 24 players to surpass 1,000 career points, recording 1,148. During her playing time at Miami, Stubbs earned Second Team All-MAC honors in 1985 and honorable mention in 1983 and 1984. She held Miami's career rebounding record until 1995 and now ranks third with 815 career rebounds. Stubbs is second in program history in field-goal percentage (.529), fourth in double-doubles (23) and sixth in free-throws attempted.
After her days at Miami, Stubbs enlisted in the Army where she was selected as the Army Female Athlete of the Year in 1995. She was an All-Army selection in basketball and also found success as a handball player, earning her spot on the U.S. National Handball Team. She won a gold medal in the 1994 Pan Am Games and served as an alternate for the 1996 Olympic Team.
Stubbs was inducted into the Miami Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012.
