Former Auburn women’s basketball player Ruthie Bolton-Holifield was one of six names called when the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame announced its 13th group of inductees Saturday.

The Class of 2011, which was named on ESPN during the “WNBA vs. USA Basketball: The Stars at the Sun Game” at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., are: Val Ackerman (contributor), Bolton-Holifield (player), Vicky Bullett (player), Muffet McGraw (coach), Pearl Moore (player) and Lometa Odom (player).

Bolton-Holifield played in a record 132 contests for the Tigers and holds the record for games started in a season at 35 and steals in a game with 10.

She currently ranks 21st all-time at Auburn in scoring with 1,176 and is fifth all-time in assists with 526.

In four seasons at Auburn, Bolton-Holifield led her team to a combined record of 119-13, which included three Southeastern Conference Championships, four NCAA Tournament appearances and two runner-up finishes (1988 and ’89).

When Bolton’s time at Auburn was up, the McLain, Miss., native continued advancing her skill and went on to a highly-successful 15-year professional basketball career including being a part of 10 U.S. national teams.

A two-time Olympic Gold Medalist (1996 and 2000) and WNBA All-Star, Bolton scored over 2,000 career points, is fourth on the WNBA’s all-time 3-pointer list and is the only player in the history of the Sacramento Monarchs to have her number retired.

She was the 1991 USA Basketball Female Athlete of the Year.

Bolton-Holifield is the first Auburn player to be inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, joining former Auburn coach Joe Ciampi on the list.
