Her top national ranking was No. 2 in the 1984-85 season behind perennial champion Lynn Adams. One of Panzeri's biggest career victories came over another racquetball legend, Heather McKay, in the semifinals of the 1985 national championship tournament in Costa Mesa, CA. McKay had announced her retirement and was hoping for one more title before Panzeri -- ranked No. 3 at the time behind Adams and McKay -- pulled off the 3-2 upset. Adams then won title match, 3-0. Panzeri was in the top-10 national rankings from 1981-82 through 1987-88.Lexicon
