Whether it was basketball or soccer, Strom found the net with uncanny regularity. Strom was an outstanding guard in basketball and finished her career at Steel Valley as one of the top scorers in WPIAL history with 2,840 points. She scored 46 in one game and was a Post-Gazette Fabulous 5 selection as a junior and senior. In soccer, she had no peers, as her career mark of 205 goals is still a WPIAL record today. Strom went on to have a terrific basketball career at Penn State, where she was a three-time all-Big Ten Conference selection. She is one of only four players in Penn State history to have 1,000 career points and 750 career assists. She is now coaching women’s basketball at California University of Pennsylvania.
