NEW HAVEN, Conn. (December 4, 2017) -- The 2007-08 Holy Family University Women's Basketball Team became the first member of the Class of 2017 to be officially inducted into the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Hall of Fame on Saturday, prior to the school's women's basketball contest versus University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, Pa.

Several members and coaches from that historic team were on hand and presented with framed portraits honoring their amazing exploits. Holy Family Assistant Vice President for Athletics Sandy Michael spoke about the program and what it has not only meant to the school, but to the entire CACC. Commissioner Dan Mara was next to speak and listed off the accomplishments of the program during that special season. Members from the team spoke and offered inspirational words to members of the current team to uphold the tradition of Holy Family Women's Basketball.

The 2007-08 version of the Tigers was one of the finest women's teams in NCAA Division II history. Holy Family won 32-straight games -- including an undefeated regular season -- leading up to the NCAA Division II East Region Final. The Tigers were 18-0 in CACC play during the season, as the 2007-08 team helped guide along the program's overall streak of 110-consecutive conference victories which stands as an NCAA record. Holy Family posted the only undefeated regular season among the three Northeast Region conferences, and earned the No. 1 seed in the regional tournament and the right to host the event -- marking the first CACC school to accomplish the latter two accolades. Under the guidance of head coach Mike McLaughlin, the Tigers captured both the CACC regular season and tournament titles and boasted the player of the year (Kelly Killion), rookie of the year (Catherine Carr) and coach of the year (McLaughlin).
