I was like, 'Am I?'" "at was never on my mind, my goals were to play, have fun, and bring success to the Iowa program. To have a coach like that stop me, the compliment was cool." Iowa won 43 games during Fishbune's four- year career and qualified for three Big Ten Tournaments. She finished her career with 46 goals, 20 assists, 20 game-winning goals, and 112 points. She holds the school record for career points, goals, and game-winning goals. "Looking back, I think holy smokes," Fishbune says of her records. "At the time I wasn't thinking about it or didn't care. Even being done for so long, I never looked back. It's humbling to see that I have these records; it takes my breath away. "I had a great four-year career and a great experience playing collegiate sports. I wouldn't change a thing. is Hall of Fame honor is the cherry on top of the sundae. It's incredible." Post-college, Fishbune was a high school guidance counselor and a soccer coach for seven years before her life changed. She suffered a heart attack in January of 2010 with an artery that was 99 percent blocked. She stepped away from coaching and a new perspective followed. "I stepped away from coaching and playing to deal with the changes that the heart attack brought in my life," said Fishbune. "It was a scary experience that made me appreciate the fact I played soccer and loved every minute of it, especially at Iowa. I loved playing soccer." ese days, Fishbune is a stay-at-home-mother to Macy (6-years-old), Charlotte (4), and Nolan (2). e Fishbune family will grow to six in November when she and her husband, Matt, will welcome the birth of their fourth child — a boy. "My kids are young, so they don't understand what this means, but my husband keeps telling me how great this is for when our kids get older to be able to show them," said Fishbune. "I am humbled, proud, and thankful. "I knew Iowa was the right choice for me when I committed. To go there and have the career I did, the teammates and memories and nearly 20 years later get a call saying I am going to be the first soccer player inducted, it's amazing."
