SAN DIEGO – On Saturday, January 20, San Diego State Athletics and the women's basketball program will celebrate the career of Judy Porter (now Wonders) at halftime of the Aztecs' game against San Jose State.
This follows a January 17 "Return to the Rafters" ceremony at the men's game, where Wonders along with former men's players Milton Phelps and Michael Cage will have their jerseys hung in Viejas Arena alongside Kawhi Leonard's.
Wonders exhausted her eligibility in 1983 and was inducted into the San Diego State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1990, the first Aztec female athlete to be honored. She was a four-time All-Western Collegiate Athletic Association (WCAA) honoree, including a pair of first-team selections. In addition, she was a finalist for the Wade Trophy, presented to the National Women's Player of the Year.
Wonders completed her Aztec career with 21 school records, including most points (2,318), rebounds (1,498), field goals (882), free throws (564) and steals (330). She averaged 19.3 points per game for her college career and still holds the program's career-rebounding average with 12.5 per game record, which includes five games with 20 or more rebounds.
Wonders' No. 33 jersey was previously displayed in a different facility, but this will be the first time it's been hung in Viejas Arena.
