The 2006 graduate was the second player in Ivy League women’s basketball history and first at Brown to amass more than 1,000 points, 600 rebounds, 250 assists and 250 steals for a career. The 2005-06 Ivy League Player of the Year was a two-time captain, led her team to the 2005-06 Ivy League Championship and was named a CoSIDA Academic All-American.
