Helena Sverrissdottir was a four-time All-Mountain West Conference selection for the Horned Frogs from 2007-11, becoming the first women's basketball player in school history to earn three-straight First Team honors. Only Zahna Medley (2014-16) has matched back-to-back-to-back All-Conference First Team selections.
 
Sverrisdottir was named the MWC Freshman of the Year in 2007-08, only to later be named the league's Player of the Year following her junior campaign in 2009-10. She remains TCU's all-time leader in Player of the Week awards, earning the honor nine different times in her career.
 
Sverrisdottir, who hails from Hafnarfjordur, Iceland, is the only player in school history to score at least 1,700 points, post at least 800 rebounds and tally 500 assists in a career. She currently ranks No. 1 all-time in career assists (546) and games started (127), while ranking No. 3 all-time with 826 career rebounds. She is No. 4 all-time in points scored (1,764) and No. 5 all-time in steals (227).
 
Sverrisdottir continued her playing career as a professional in Europe, where she helped lead Haukar to a national championship in 2018. She also played for Valur, where she was named Player of the Year and led the team to a national championship in 2019. She continues to play and coach in her native Iceland today.
 
At the time of her induction, Sverrisdottir became the fifth women's basketball athlete inducted into the TCU Hall of Fame.
