Excelling on the basketball court for the Blue Devils from 1990-94, Cindy Hovet could be described by one word: dominant.
A three-time all-WWIAC selection in basketball and the 1994 WWIAC Player of the Year, Hovet still holds school marks for career 3-pointers (82), single-game points (39) and single-game steals (11), and shares the mark for most career games played (107). Her 1,231 career points rank second on Stout’s all-time list. On Feb. 25, 1998, the Blue Devils retired Hovet’s number, 21.
Hovet earned first-team all-WWIAC softball accolades in 1994 -- the only year she played softball at Stout -- and ranks 12th on the Blue Devils’ all-time single-season fielding percentage list.
An assistant basketball coach at Stout (1994-95) and UW-River Falls (1995-2000), Hovet has posted a 69-59 record in her five years as head coach at River Falls. During the 2000-01 season, Hovet coached the Falcons to an 11-5 WIAC record and a tie for third place in the league, earning WIAC Coach of the Year honors in the process.
