Women's basketball head coach Lisa Fortier was named to her third Hall of Fame in the last two years as she was named to the Butte College HOF this week. She was also recently honored at Cal State Monterey Bay and Placer High School in 2020.

"I am completely humbled by these honors," Fortier said. "I loved my time at each of these schools, and I value the relationships and experiences that have come from my time spent at Placer High School, Butte College, and CSU Monterey Bay. I am so thankful for the teammates, teachers, coaches, and mentors that have entered my life through education and basketball." 

During her time at Placer High School, Fortier, then Lisa Mispley, was part of the basketball team that made the playoffs, and she still holds the record for most charges taken. She also ran the hurdles and ran track for the Lady Hillmen.

From Placer High School, Fortier played for the Butte women's basketball team from 1999-2002. During her tenure, the Roadrunners advanced to the third round of the NorCal playoffs before advancing to the Elite Eight during her final season.

After her final season at Butte, the guard from Grass Valley, Calif., transferred to California State University, Monterey Bay, where she was named All-Cal Pac Conference, NAIA Academic All-America, and CSUMB Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Fortier helped build a foundation for the Cal State Monterey Bay Otter women's basketball program. During her time, the Otters won 18 games, a mark that remained the best win total in program history until the 2009–10 campaigns.

Fortier was the first multi–honored student-athlete in Otter women's basketball history. She was the team's second All-Cal-Pac Conference honoree. She also was the only Otter ever to earn the NAIA Scholar Athlete Award during the team's six seasons at that level.

Despite playing just two seasons in The Kelp Bed, Fortier finished her career as CSUMB's all–time leader in scoring, 3-pointers, free throws, rebounds and assists. She still ranks in the Otter career Top 10 in 13 categories, including points (7th), scoring average (3rd) and assists (7th). Fortier graduated Magna Cum Laude from CSUMB in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in human communications.

The ceremonies for Cal State Monterey Bay and Placer High School have already taken place, but the Butte College induction ceremony will be held on Sept. 16.
