description: Raised on a cattle ranch Agnes Morley was sent to Stanford University to learn to be a lady. Yet in no time she exchanged her breeches and spurs for bloomers and a basketball and in April 1896 she made history. In a heart-pounding game against the University of California at Berkeley Agnes led her team to victory in the first-ever intercollegiate women's basketball game bringing national attention to women's basketball.
