College of Charleston to induct four into school’s athletic hall of fame

The College of Charleston will induct three former athletes and one former administrator into the school’s athletic hall of fame on Feb. 16..

The four inductees are NBA veteran Anthony Johnson (1994-97), former athletic director Jerry Baker (1991-07), former sailing All-American Kara Shadwick-Museler (1992-95) and former men’s soccer All-American defender Luiz Vieira (1987-90).

Johnson was Charleston’s first NBA draft pick, selected 40th overall by Sacramento in 1997. Johnson is the school’s all-time career leader in assists with 520. During his four-year career, the Cougars compiled a 101-17 record, four TAAC championships, two NIT and two NCAA tournament appearances.

Shawick-Museler was one of only two women to be named an All-American all four years with the Cougars. Shadwick-Museler helped the Cougars place second in the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy competition for three straight years from 1993-95, which is awarded annually to the best overall collegiate team in the nation.

Vierira, a defender, became the first men’s soccer player to be selected to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America NAIA Division-I All-America First Team in 1988 as a sophomore. During his senior campaign, Vieira led the team with 12 goals and six assists as CofC played 16 of its 22 games on the road finishing the year with an 11-8-3 record.

Baker was an assistant athletic director from 1984-89, and later was named athletic director from 1991-2007.
