The fifth women's basketball player to be voted for inclusion into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame, Gwynn Hobbs (married name is Gywnn Grant) was more than a sensational player and student-athlete for the Lady Rebels, she was also a symbol of triumph for Native Americans. Hobbs, out of Ganado, Arizona, left Navajo Nation for a full ride at UNLV under head coach Jim Bolla and excelled throughout her four-year collegiate career. Still the most accurate three-point shooter in Lady Rebel history at 40.6 percent, she was a three-time All-Big West Conference honoree at guard, including earning a spot on the first team in both 1994 and '95. An all-around player, Hobbs' name remains prevalent up and down the program's record book: first in three-pointers in a season with 71, second in free-throw percentage for a season at 87.8 percent, second in assists in a season with 180, second in career assists (592), third in all-time steals (295) and 10th in scoring with 1,504 points to her name. Her numbers also have stood the test of time in league history as she remains fifth in the Big West in assists, sixth in steals and sixth in three-point percentage. Hobbs, who averaged double-digit points all four of her seasons, was the star attraction in the special UNLV season of 1993-94. The sparkplug was named conference tournament MVP after averaging 21.7 points in three games while leading the Lady Rebels to their final Big West title along with a NCAA Tournament appearance. An academic all-conference honoree every year in the Scarlet & Gray, Hobbs was chosen to serve as a national spokesperson for United National Indian Tribal Youth (UNITY) during her playing career. She eventually returned to the reservation setting to coach girls basketball.
