NIU’s high-usage, two-way guard who drove the offense
At Northern Illinois, Stephanie Raymond was the Huskies’ engine, leading the team in scoring, assists, steals, and shot volume in her most prominent season, which points to a guard who could create, finish, and defend at a high level[2][6]. She also showed big-game scoring ability, including a 30-point performance with a strong late-game push, and her career NIU steal total ranked among the program’s all-time best, underscoring her competitive edge and activity level[3][4]. For a team wanting a proven ball-handler with scoring gravity and disruptive defense, she fits as a tough, high-intensity lead guard[4][6].
