Columbia’s clutch, high-IQ perimeter shooter
Susan Kern’s Columbia résumé points to a classic guard weapon: shooting. In the 2004-05 season, she was a program record-book presence for three-point accuracy (.342 career mark listed in Columbia’s records) and ranked among the team’s career leaders in free-throw percentage, which fits the profile of a dependable, efficient backcourt scorer[5][7]. Contemporary game notes described her as a shooter and scorer who could disappear for stretches and then flip a game in minutes, the kind of streaky-but-dangerous trait coaches love and opponents dread[1]. If your team needs spacing, quick-trigger offense, and a guard comfortable taking and making big shots, Kern looks like a strong fit[1][3].
