Savar established herself as a tremendous two-sport athlete in basketball and tennis. On the hardwood, she was a record-breaking point guard who set Drew standards for career assists (467) and steals (291), marks that still stood nearly 40 years later at the time of her induction. As a playmaker, she helped a pair of her teammates reach the 1,000-point plateau for their careers including the program's all-time leading scorer, Leslie Rushton McNeil Cerf C'84 and seventh all-time leading scorer, Denise Browne Driscoll C'85. During her sophomore campaign, she dished out a school-record 148 assists, then improved upon that mark as a senior with 150 helpers - a school record that has held up for 27 years at the time of her induction.
On the tennis court, Savar helped the Rangers put together a winning four-year record of 22-16. She competed in No. 1 singles as a senior, when the team finished 8-4, setting a school record for victories. She was teammates with two-time AIAW Division III national singles champion and future Drew Hall of Famer, Kim Schmidt Selert C'81.
