Carole Dwyer Collins starred for Mount St. Dominic Academy prior to her days at Caldwell University. She and her sisters June and Ginny helped the Mount win four state championships while posting an incredible 80-game winning streak. The success continued at Caldwell, where Carole became the team’s leading scorer and eventual captain as a senior. That year she led Caldwell to an unbeaten season.
“There weren’t that many Catholic colleges with basketball teams, so we had difficulty finding teams to play,” Collins said. “I remember being proud to beat Panzer. We were really happy to win that game because they were a physical education college. Playing on the basketball team with my sisters June and Ginny was the most fun part of school.”
Carole and her husband George have seven children, 25 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and live in Brewster, N.Y.
