Suzanne Enos-O’Meara was a dominant two-sport athlete at Sir Francis Drake High School, where she twice earned MVP honors in both basketball and volleyball, and was named Women's Sports Magazine Athlete of the Year in 1975.

At USF she continued to play both basketball and volleyball, and was a true pioneer of USF women's athletics. She was the first female athlete ever to receive an athletic scholarship at USF for the Women's Athletics program in 1976. A member of USF’s first women’s basketball team, Enos-O’Meara played three seasons of basketball and volleyball from 1976 to 1979, and was named the basketball team MVP as a freshman after scoring 248 points (14.1 ppg) in 1976-1977. She scored 35 points in a game against Chabot College on January 11, 1977, then a school-record, and averaged 11.0 PPG as a sophomore to earn All-Northern California Athletic Conference Honors. Enos-O'Meara also participated in the 1976 United States Olympic Basketball Trials. 

Life After USF: Following graduation from USF, she earned her Master’s Degree in Education from Stanford in 1981, and enjoyed a long career as a teacher and administrator in Marin County. One of the greatest high school female athletes in Marin County history, Enos-O’Meara was inducted into the Marin County Athletic League’s (MCAL) Hall of Fame in 1999, and into the USF Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016.
