One of the top basketball players in Wake Forest and Atlantic Coast Conference history, Jennifer Mitchell Hoover will remain a prominent figure in the Demon Deacon women's basketball record book.

She remains the school's all-time leading scorer (1,728 points) and rebounder (1,006 rebounds) and still holds WFU career records for field goals (763), field goal percentage (.607) and double-doubles (50). Hoover is tied for second in Wake Forest history for games played (117) and she ranks in the top five all-time in rebound average, minutes played, free throw attempts, field-goal attempts, blocked shots and scoring average.

A first-team Fast Break All-American in 1991, Hoover earned All-ACC honors three times while leading Wake Forest to four consecutive winning seasons and the school's only NCAA Tournament appearance. A former assistant coach at Virginia, she was named to the ACC's 50th Anniversary Team.

She was inducted into the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.
