Thievery is the name of the game, and these women are masters at it. Take a look at the top theives in the women's game...- Maurita Reid(Miami): Pick-pocketing is her specialty, and she was among the ACC leaders in steals in her very first Division 1 season with 95. Reid hounds opposing guards all the way up the court with her length and athleticism despite being only 5-8.
- - Alexis Hornbuckle(Tennessee): A gifted defender who excels in the art of stealing the ball. Hornbuckle’s physical strength and athleticism allow her to dictate where she wants to send the ballhandler beforehand, and she usually caps off her hard work with a theft (had 113 of those a year ago). Here’s someone who literally plays all over the court on defense.
- - Carlene Hightower(La Salle): A talented defensive playmaker in the A-10. The impressive thing to note about Hightower is her propensity to make spectacular defensive plays against the better perimeter-oriented teams in her conference (e.g. four steals against a solid Charlotte team).
- - Emily Florence(Washington): A feisty defender who isn’t afraid to scrap against the “big girls”. Florence uses quick hands and active feet to make her opponents work for position. She is without a doubt one of the best lockdown defenders in the Pac-10.
- - Sequoia Holmes(UNLV): The 6-1 wing is touted as the most athletic player in the Mountain West Conference because of her speed and leaping ability. Holmes, who averaged over 2.6 steals a game last season, shows the ability to make game-changing defensive plays, among those breakaway steals.
