CURIOUS ABOUT TEAM STATS, SCORES & HISTORY?
FUN FACT:
As of 2025 the Univ. of South Carolina has won 3 NCAA championships with great players like A’ja Wilson. Yet the SINGLE SEASON leading scorer for USC was Katrina Anderson with 745 points. The 1st pick of the Philadelphia Fox in 1979.
The Fox’s 9th round draft pick, Linda Mathews of North Carolina, when told about being drafted thought it was into the army.
In Tribute to the Founders and Owners:
Eric Kraus
Eric Kraus assumed ownership of the Philadelphia Fox during the WBL’s 1979 expansion, but the franchise collapsed quickly due to insufficient financing. No personal photos of Kraus from that period are publicly available.
