Angela (Gustafson) Evans, a native of Stromsburg, Neb., was a standout guard for the women’s basketball team from 1983-87.
In her first three seasons at Nebraska Wesleyan, Gustafson earned the Outstanding Freshman Award, was named best defensive player her sophomore season and was picked as a co-captain her junior season.
As a senior, she was selected as the team’s Most Valuable Player, named to the All-Conference First Team and given NWU’s Outstanding Female Athlete Award. In fact, her senior season totals were among the best ever at Nebraska Wesleyan; she ranks second in field goals made (170), third in points (422), scoring average (16.9) and three-point percentage (.419), and eighth in steals (59). The 5-foot-5 Gustafson even set a pair of school records which still stand today, including most points in a game (44 against Morningside College, Dec. 2, 1986) and rebounds in a game (21 against Concordia College, Jan. 10, 1987).
For her career, Gustafson is among the Top 10 all-time at NWU in every major statistical category except blocked shots. She still ranks sixth in career points and assists, fifth in career field goals made and rebounds and fourth in career steals.
