Mary Jo Krouse is being inducted into the Viterbo Wall of Fame for her efforts as a member of the women's basketball team from 1979 to 1983. Known as an outstanding outside shooter, Krouse was a top scorer who also impressed opponents with relentless hustling defense. Her talents helped lead the 76ers to an appearance in the NLCAA National Tournament in 1982.

Krouse was also considered as an outstanding leader both in the classroom and on the basketball court during her career at Viterbo. An outstanding student, Krouse's leadership qualities earned her the honor of being selected as team captain.

Former V-Hawk coach Ellen Jack remembers Krouse as an extremely team-oriented and unselfish student-athlete. It was this type of attitude that helped create stability and to inspire the success of these early 76er teams.
