Hall of Fame
A four-year starter at point guard for the Tigers, Betty Lou Bischof Andrade '86 was inducted into the Towson Hall of Fame in 1997.
She finished her career with a school-record 521 assists, a mark that still stands. A two-year co-captain, Bischof helped the Tigers to four consecutive winning seasons, including the 1984 East Coast Conference championship.
In the Tigers’ 61-58 come-from-behind win over Delaware in ‘84, she scored four points in the final minute, hitting a jumper to pull the Tigers within 58-57 with 51 seconds left and making a steal and hitting the title-clinching free throws with one second remaining.
As a sophomore she set a Towson single-season record with 143 assists and 6.0 assists per game. A native of Camp Hill, Pa., she was the Most Valuable Player at the Towson Invitational Tournament as a freshman. She also holds the Towson single-game record with 15 assists against Bucknell as a senior, a mark that was also the ECC record.
She was honored as the winner of Towson’s Unsung Hero Award at the annual Sports Awards Banquet as a senior. For her career, she averaged 5.2 points and 5.3 assists per game while helping Towson to a 66-37 record in her career. She married John Andrade, another Towson Hall of Fame inductee (baseball). She worked as a service representative for a private vocational rehabilitation company.
