History

The Rockers, who got their nickname to honor Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have had little success historically. In 1997, they started with such players like Isabelle Fijalwoski and former Harlem Globetrotters member Lynette Woodard, who had been the first female player in Globetrotter history. The Rockers missed the playoffs in 1997, made them in 1998, going 20-10 and winning the Eastern Conference title, but lost to the Phoenix Mercury in the Eastern Conference finals. They made the conference finals again in 2000 but lost to the New York Liberty.
