One of the most talented two-sport athletes in UD women's athletics history, Howett was dominating on both the basketball court and the tennis court as a Blue Hen in the 1970's. A 1978 graduate of Delaware and a native of New Holland, PA, Howett was a four-year standout for both teams and served as captain for each her senior year when she was named the UD Outstanding Senior Female Athlete of the Year for 1977-78. In basketball, she averaged 15.6 points and 14.4 rebounds per game for her career and is one of just two players in UD history to record 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career. She still holds the UD record for rebounds in a single game with 27 vs. Trenton State in 1976-77. In tennis, Howett posted a career mark of 33-29 at No. 1 singles that stood as a record upon her graduation.
