Rebounding-first forward who powered Ohio’s 2004-05 upset of Kent State
In the 2004-05 season, Ohio forward Erin Isbell made her value obvious the hard-nosed way: she grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds in a 56-50 win over Kent State, helping the Bobcats open MAC play 1-0 and end a long drought against the Golden Flashes. Her calling card was effort, physicality, and interior rebounding rather than flashy scoring, which makes her the kind of glue player coaches love for possession battles and toughness. If you need a reliable frontcourt worker who can change a game with energy and board control, Isbell fits that mold.
