Megan Barilla was a high-IQ, pass-first guard who made Akron’s offense hum
In the 2015-16 season, Megan Barilla was Akron’s engine: she averaged 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, led the Mid-American Conference in assist-turnover ratio, and posted the program’s first Division I triple-double, a rare sign of all-around impact[1][3]. She finished her career with 375 assists and 121 games played, showing durability, poise, and strong floor vision[1]. For a team needing a steady organizer who can rebound, distribute, and keep mistakes low, Barilla fit the “winning glue” mold more than the volume-scorer mold[1][2].
