Cristen Ladouceur Halladay '96 grew up in Ogdensburg, New York, and admits that while she was local, St. Lawrence wasn't "on her radar." But when her mother set up an official visit and she met head women's basketball coach Fran Grembowicz, Cristen knew she wanted to play for the Saints.
After a tough rookie season in which the Saints won just five games, Cristen helped St. Lawrence post the biggest win differential from one season to the next as a sophomore, averaging 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game as the Saints went 16-8. She finished her career as the Saints' all-time scoring leader with 1,173 points, and while five St. Lawrence players have since passed that mark, her 13.8 points per game still sits atop the Saints' scoring average list.
A three-time All-Conference selection, including two First-Team honors, Cristen was named St. Lawrence's Senior Female Athlete of the Year in 1996.
After graduating, Cristen served as an assistant women's basketball coach at Ithaca College, helping the Bombers earn an NCAA Tournament berth, while earning a Master's in sport psychology. She is a physical education teacher in her home town of Ogdensburg, and she and her husband, Shane Halladay, live in Massena. They have two children, Jackson and Faith.
