The Sunshine State Conference is proud to announce its 2022 Hall of Fame class. The league will usher in the nine newest members on Saturday, October 8th, during the SSC Hall of Fame brunch and celebration. The event will take place in Fort Lauderdale on the campus of Nova Southeastern University.
The inductees of the SSC's 24th Hall of Fame class are Dr. Joan Davison (Rollins, Faculty Athletics Representative), Doug Gordin (Florida Southern, men's golf), Dr. Katie (Heintz) Stowers (Saint Leo, softball), Bill Livesey (Eckerd, baseball/men's soccer), Dr. Danielle Robinson (Nova Southeastern, women's basketball), Dr. George Samuel (Barry, tennis), Jarrett Slaven (Tampa, cross country), James Taylor (Lynn, men's basketball), and Dr. Frank Webbe (Florida Tech, Faculty Athletics Representative).
Danielle Robinson will also be enshrined into the Nova Southeastern Sharks Hall of Fame on Saturday, November 12th, earning her place amongst other Knights and Sharks legends after a tremendous playing career at NSU.
A four-year starter at Nova Southeastern during her career, Robinson's name can be seen at the top of nearly every Women's Basketball all-time record. Danielle is the NSU all-time leader in points (1,676), games played (125), games started (123), three-point field goals (227), and free throws made (357). Additionally, Robinson-Pratt also ranks in the top-10 all-time in steals (2nd/191), minutes played (2nd/3,452), rebounds (3rd/594), field goals made (3rd/546), and assists (7th/235).
As a freshman, Robinson was named to the Division II Bulletin All-American Freshmen Team and the All-SSC Newcomer Team while earning Sunshine State Conference Freshman of the Year honors. Danielle followed her freshman year success with another exceptional season as a sophomore, earning co-SSC Defensive Player of the Year honors, and was named to the All-SSC Second-Team and All-South Region Second-Team. Danielle also added the SSC Tournament Most Valuable Player and All-SSC First-Team honors as a senior.
During Robinson's time as a Shark, NSU Women's Basketball experienced the program's first Elite-8 appearance in 2013, going 23-9 and finishing as the SSC Co-Champion, the first Final Four Appearance in 2014, finishing 29-5 and SSC Tournament Champions, and the program's third consecutive Elite-8 appearance in 2015, guiding the Sharks to a 27-6 record while winning both the Sunshine State Conference regular-season and tournament crowns.
Off the court, Danielle excelled at Nova Southeastern. Robinson-Pratt was selected as captain of the NSU Women's Basketball team three times, a member of the distinguished President 64, a SAAC representative, Executive Vice President of Alpha Kappa Psi's Psi Prospect Class, and the President of the Flying Sharks Aviation Club.
Robinson graduated with her undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sport Science as a junior in 2014 and completed her graduate studies in Athletic Administration in 2015. She finished her Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) in May 2022 from the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences at NSU.
The SSC Hall of Fame was founded in 1991 to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to the league. Its purpose is to perpetuate the memory of those who brought distinction, honor, and excellence to the league. Conference officials selected a charter class in 1992, with 21 individuals honored. The 2022 class brings the number of SSC Hall of Fame inductees to 213.
