Ohio State’s Inside-Scoring Machine and Rebounding Anchor
Lavender was a dominant Ohio State center whose calling card was relentless production inside, elite rebounding, and historically rare consistency—she left Columbus as the Buckeyes’ all-time leading scorer and the Big Ten’s all-time leading rebounder, while also stringing together an NCAA-record 135 straight double-figure scoring games. For a team, that translates to a reliable low-post finisher who brings physicality, efficiency, and a proven big-game floor; the context that matters most is that her game was built on durable, repeatable fundamentals rather than flashy volume, which made her a high-floor fit in virtually any lineup.
