Megan Edwards was EIU’s steady backcourt engine, not just a scorer
In the 2008-09 season, Megan Edwards gave Eastern Illinois a rare blend of reliability and control: she started all 33 games, led the team in minutes, set a new career free-throw percentage mark at .857, and finished her career with 57 straight starts. Her differentiators were leadership, ball handling, and decision-making—she was known for directing traffic and valuing assists over hero-ball scoring, and she bounced back from a knee injury to remain a major backcourt stabilizer. If a team needs a composed guard who can organize an offense and compete through adversity, she fits the bill.
