While the subject of guards for the all-time WashU team is still being kicked around, I might vote for someone not yet mentioned: Sue Tucker. She played on three of the NCAA D3 championship teams, and was IMHO a bigger part of their success than she seemed to be given credit for. She was not particularly flashy, and didn't score much (or need to) with Fischer around. But Tucker was tough as nails, took care of the ball, and had a really, really high "basketball IQ", even among point guards. The 2 guard could be debated as well, but I'd vote for Amy Schweitzer. It's hard argue with Fischer, Rodgers and Manning to round out the team.

Some comments on the WashU team. I've been attending most WashU home games, mens and womens, for about the past 15 years as I work at the University. This year's womens team is as good or better than any team they have had during that time, including the four D3 national champions. Admittedly they don't have a player quite as dominant as Alia Fischer was some years ago, but Kelly Manning is close. And the supporting cast is great. The freshman point guard from Hawaii (Dacanay) is terrific --two-time Hawaii player of the year and McDonalds High School All-American nominee-- and she doesn't even start. They seem to have plenty of outside shooting (which has been a problem at times in recent years) and enough ball handling/speed to deal with D3 presses. The WashU post players (Beehler and Parker) are, I think, strong enough and good enough to play with anyone. We'll see about that when they get Brandeis... Their tightest game thusfar was 11 points vs. DePauw, and it was not nearly as close as the final score might suggest. Not to jinx them this early, but I really think they could easily run the table this year. After some "down" years, WashU is back!
