Batalis is considered one of the greatest players in Lady Knight
basketball history. A dominant guard/forward, at her time of
induction, she ranks second on SMC's all-time scorer's list with
1,290 career points; just 71 points behind all-time leader and
Charter Hall of Famer Kathy O'Neil '81. One of only six women
to surpass 1,000 career points, Batalis still holds five individual
records, including most assists in a game (16) and career field
goals (518). She was SMC's all-time assist leader until Pam
Nee '89 broke the record. In 1983, Batalis was selected to
the USA East National Team as a first alternate--the only Lady
Knight ever to be selected to an Olympic-level national team.
After her great senior season of 1984-85 she was named All-New
England, and All-America honorable mention. During her
career, the Lady Knights were 59-39 (60% win percentage), by far
the most successful stretch in the program's 17 year history.
