The Red Heads traveled extensively, playing over 200 games a season and winning the hearts of spectators with their skillful play and entertaining halftime shows. Despite facing challenges and traveling in cramped conditions, the Red Heads paved the way for greater opportunities for women in sports and were honored with inductions into multiple sports halls of fame.
