Hailey Diestelkamp put together a Drury basketball career unmatched in the program’s first quarter century of competition, as she finished her four collegiate career as the Panthers' all-time leading scorer and rebounder.
 
Diestelkamp closed her Drury career with 2,321 points, hauled in 1,101 rebounds and put an exclamation point on her remarkable effort as she poured in a single-game record 53 points against Rockhurst in her final home contest.
 
Her long string of records includes Drury career marks in field goals made with 902 and free throws made with 446, and she also holds the single-season marks for points with 758 and field goals with 300. Her game against Rockhurst in 2020 also included a record 21 field goals, and she shares the game mark in steals with 10. Diestelkamp is one of four Panthers with a triple-double in a game as she had 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 steals against Indianapolis in 2019.
