One of the top all-around performers in school history, Catie Knable could be counted on to fill up the box scores when Marshall took the basketball court. The Floyds Knobs, Ind., native, who led her high school team to a 118-17 record in her four years before becoming a member of the Thundering Herd, finished her Marshall career second all-time at Marshall in rebounds with 910, fourth in 3-point percentage (35.8), seventh in free throws made (239), 11th in 3-pointers made (54) and 12th in blocked shots (44). Her 2003-04 total of 277 rebounds was the school’s third-highest single-season total, while her 261 boards as a junior was fifth-best.
Her single-game best of 21 rebounds against Bowling Green as a sophomore was fourth all-time at Marshall. She was All-Mid-American Conference in 2002-03 and won the Donna Lawson Leadership Award as team MVP in 2004. Knable helped lead the program to its first winning record (18-12) in seven years and 8-8 in the MAC, which was the best mark in four years. That season, Marshall advanced to the MAC Tournament semifinals for the first time, falling to Eastern Michigan 75-70 after upsetting Kent State.
Knable was inducted into the Marshall Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016.
