| Kate Starbird became just the second player in Stanford history to take home the James Naismith National Player of the Year Trophy, earning the honor following her senior season in 1997. In her time on The Farm, she was also one of just three (at the time) Stanford multi-year All-Americans, earning spots on the Kodak All-America Teams from 1996-97. Starbird was tabbed to the All-Pac-10 Team in both 1995 and 1996, and helped the Cardinal to three-consecutive Pac-10 titles (1995-97). She helped Stanford to a 118-14 record with three Final Four appearances in her four-year career (1993-97) on The Farm, and averaged 16.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game during that time. By the end of her Stanford career, the prolific Starbird held Stanford’s career, single-season and single-game scoring records with 2,215 career points, 753 points in 1996-97 and 44 points in a Jan. 13, 1996 contest against USC. Following college, Starbird moved on to the ABL, where she played for the Seattle Reign from 1997 until the league folded in 1998. From there, Starbird continued her career in the WNBA, playing for the Sacramento Monarchs (1999), Utah Starzz (2000-02), Seattle Storm (2002) and Indiana Fever (2004). | |||||||||||
