Duke’s defensive playmaker and pace-setting floor general
In the 2006-07 season, Lindsey Harding was the engine for Duke’s backcourt, averaging about 13.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 44.4% from the field and 38.1% from three[3]. Her calling card was two-way impact: Duke described her as one of the nation’s best defenders and a dynamic, high-speed point guard who often guarded the opponent’s top scoring threat[4]. She also carried major national credibility, earning a spot among the top point-guard award finalists and helping lead a No. 1-ranked Duke team[4].
