She's the girl that does all the little things. She may not get a picture in the paper or even her name in a headline. However, her presence can be felt on and off the court. She is part of the supporters, the group of the top role players who deserve much more credit.
- Meg Dahlman(Marist): On a team that draws attention because of its guard play, Dahlman opened up some eyes with her play against All-American center Jessica Davenport during last season’s NCAA Tournament. Meg Dahlman continues to do all the little things that her team needs to succeed.
- - Lady Comfort(Temple): Comfort played a complimentary role inside to Hairston her junior season (and to Dupree the year before that), but could be expected to play a much bigger role in 2007-08. Comfort has stayed in the shadows of former Temple stars and teammates. This year, she will be the star.
- - Mallorie Winn(Pittsburgh): Big-time scoring guard with playmaker ability; it’ll be interesting to watch how her role takes shape after sustaining a serious knee injury last preseason since Walker is the rock inside and Zellous has emerged as a go-to scorer. Winn may not get all the credit, but she is the key to their success.
- - Samantha Mahoney(Kentucky): With the big anchor (Elliott) inside for Kentucky, it’s up to Mahoney to provide the perimeter punch to keep defenses from doubling the post. This All-SEC performer scores in a variety of ways for the Wildcats but is most effective in the mid-range game. Mahoney truly is the silent assassin.
- - Essence Carson(Rutgers): Carson has been a steady force on both sides of the ball for a Rutgers since her freshman season, playing alongside stars like Cappie Pondexter, Kia Vaughn, and Matee Ajavon. The reigning Big East Defensive Player of the Year figures to be a frontrunner for National Defensive POY honors this season.
