Coming to Gardner-Webb from Durham, N.C., Roundtree was a four-year member of the Runnin' Bulldogs women's basketball team. In total, Roundtree played in 126 total games for GWU, which ranks third most all-time.
 
Roundtree was a household name for the women's basketball program from 2006-2010, sitting in the top-10 of the record books in a range of categories. The 2009-10 Big South Player of the Year led her team to an astounding 28-5 overall record and 15-1 mark in league play while earning a berth into the Women's Basketball NIT. She was named to the Big South Conference All-Tournament Team during her senior campaign as well as First Team All-Conference after averaging 12.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
 
A menace on the glass, Roundtree holds the fourth-most rebounds in program history with 789 while also sitting fifth in total field goal percentage at .469. Her 1,337 career points lands her in the top 10 in scoring and can be contributed to the 161 baskets made during the 2007-08 season, which ranks fourth all-time for most field goals made in a season. For her efforts during a stellar career, Roundtree was named conference player of the week on three occasions.
 
"Being selected as a Hall of Fame inductee at this university is an honor beyond words," said Roundtree. "It's a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication I poured into the game I love. More than that, it reflects the impact of my coaches, teammates, and the community who believed in me, challenged me, and stood by my side. This recognition isn't just about my achievements-it's a celebration of every moment, lesson, and connection that made my journey unforgettable."
 
Roundtree added, "Looking back 15 years later, basketball at this university was more than just a game; it was a journey of growth, resilience, and unity. Every dribble, every shot, every moment on the court taught me that true success wasn't measured by the scoreboard, but by the heart, determination, and bonds we built along the way. With the unwavering support of my coaches guiding me and my teammates lifting me up, I learned that together, we rose higher than we ever could alone."
