Introducing...The Playmakers

While the top scores get the most praise, it's up to these women to make sure points are scored. Some players make plays, while other players finish them. These are the playmakers.

Amanda Rego(San Diego)- After leading the nation in assists last year, this Cali girl became more recognized on the national scene. Unfortunately, she still has a long way to go. Not many people know about Rego but her ability to find her teammates in the best situations to score is definitely her strongest asset.
-
Patrika Barlow(Louisville)- A relative unknown last year, Barlow has enterted her senior year with something to prove. Barlow has been in the tops in assists per game for the entire season. Her breakout performances include a 16 assist effort early in the season. Even though Louisville is not as good as they once were, Barlow still pushes tempo and finds her teammates in scoring situations.
-
Kate Achter(Bowling Green)- The Falcons from BGSU were one of the "feel good stories" of last season's NCAA, and leading them was star point guard Kate Achter. At first glance she looks thin, frail, even wirey, but she is anything but. Achter is someone that can find her teammates at all times, but also looks for her shot. She's a truly a threat in all areas of the game.
-
Sharnee Zoll(Virginia)- Sharnee Zoll is probably a name you've heard of. Coming from Philly, some saw her as the next Dawn Staley. She has some ways to go to become Staley-esqe, but it's not too far off. Her ability to control games and distribute the ball at a high rate makes her a strong point guard.
-
Kimberly Beck(George Washington)- Being the leader of the most consistent "mid major" team, Beck has a never say die attitude that seems fitting for a mid major point guard. Beck can hit a three, drive to the bucket and score, or pass off to one of her teammates for an open shot. George Washington would not be nearly as good without Beck. She's a key cog in the Colonial machine.
