Naccarato was only 5 feet 3 when she played for the Monessen girls basketball team. But as far as scorers go, no one in the history of the WPIAL stands taller. Naccarato finished her career as the WPIAL’s all-time leading scorer with 3,364 points. She is one of only nine players in the history of Pennsylvania girls basketball to score 3,000 points. She was a Post-Gazette Fabulous 5 selection four times, scored 57 points in one game and averaged 29.8 points for her 113-game high school career. But don’t forget that Naccarato also was an excellent soccer player. Her 158 career goals are still 10th-best in WPIAL history. She went on to play basketball at Duquesne University.
