DURHAM, N.C. - Two Duke women's basketball alumnae will be honored by the Duke Alumni Association on Saturday, Nov. 14 as Sue Monroe Gordon will receive the Distinguished Alumni Award and Margo Walsh Riddle will receive the Forever Duke Award.
Each year, the Duke Alumni Association honors a handful of individuals who embody the spirit of Forever Duke and advance the Duke ideal of knowledge in service to society.
Gordon will receive the highest honor given exclusively to alumni, the Distinguished Alumni Award. The award is given to alumni who have made outstanding contributions through their field of work, in service to Duke and toward the betterment of humanity.
The Washington, D.C., native led the Duke women's basketball team from 1976 to 1980 as the first three-time captain in program history. Gordon went on to join the Central Intelligence Agency after earning her Bachelors of Science degree from Duke in 1980.
Riddle, who hails from Endwell, N.Y, will be one of 18 individual awardees for the Forever Duke Award, which recognizes alumni for excellent recent volunteer service to Duke, the DAA and other alumni groups.
Riddle started 44 games over four years for the Blue Devils, while leading the team in free throw percentage during the 1981-82 season. She went on to earn her Bachelors of Science degree from Duke in 1983.
The 2020 Duke Alumni Association Awards Ceremony will take place Saturday, Nov. 14 from 12 p.m.-1 p.m. through Zoom.
