IMAN DAVIS BECOMES EMMANUEL’S ALL-TIME LEADING SCORER
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – Emmanuel College defeated Wesleyan
University, 88-82, in a non-conference women’s basketball
game played on Wednesday, February 3. Emmanuel’s Iman Davis
(Toms River, N.J.) entered the game with 1,611 career points, just
fifteen points shy of the Emmanuel program’s career scoring
record. In just twenty-one minutes of action, the senior guard
poured in 21 points and in doing so became the program’s new
all-time leading scorer.
Davis, who now has 1,632 total points, surpassed the mark of 1,626
points set by All-American Lesa Dennis, who played for the Saints
from 1984-1988. Davis, one of the best players to ever to suit up
as a Saint, also holds triple-figure career totals in three other
categories, including: rebounds (693), assists (378) and steals
(372).
The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC), which was
established in 1995, also has Davis in its record books. Last week,
Davis became the GNAC Women’s Basketball all-time leading
scorer. The former mark of 1,570 points was set by Albertus Magnus
College’s Natalia Perlaza in 2005.
Davis’ career total of 372 steals leads that of all past and
present conference players. She also ranks 8th among the GNAC
leaders in career assists, falling just behind 2008 Emmanuel
graduate Jade Paez. Her total career rebounds places her among the
top twenty conference leaders.
Davis is one of Emmanuel’s all-time most decorated
student-athletes. She was been named the conference’s Player
of the Year both as a sophomore and a junior. Along with her player
of the year honors, Davis has also been named to ECAC and
D3hoops.com All-New England region teams. Davis was chosen a
pre-season All-American this year and has helped lead the Saints to
their current NCAA ranking of 4th in New England.
