Iman Davis made history at the end of the 2008-2009 season by
becoming the first Great Northeast Athletic Conference basketball
player, male or female, to attain career levels of 1,000 points,
500 rebounds, and 300 assists. Davis’s career totals of 1,474
points, 621 rebounds, and 346 assists earned her a spot in GNAC
women’s basketball history. Adding her statistics through
seven games played this season, the senior guard is currently in
3rd place all-time with 1,501 career points, in 10th place with 351
career assists, and in 24th place with 636 career rebounds.
Davis has the potential to move up even further in the rankings
before she hangs up her Saints uniform at the end of this season.
Davis is 306 points away from overtaking 1st place (1806), and 70
points away from 2nd place (1,570). Davis could also take the top
spot on Emmanuel’s 1,000 Point Club from Lesa Dennis
(1,626).
Last season Davis lead the conference in points (18.5 ppg), was
ranked 2nd in steals (2.8 stpg), 6th in assist/turnover ratio (1.1
ratio), 7th in assists (3.8 apg), and 8th in field goal percentage
(.465). Currently, the senior triple-threat ranks 1st in the GNAC
in steals (3.6 stpg), 2nd in assist-turnover ratio (1.5 ratio), 8th
in assists (3.4 apg), 9th in scoring (13.9 ppg), and 12th in
rebounding (8.6 rpg). Back in 2008, Davis finished the season in
3rd place in Division III, averaging 4.4 steals per game, which,
combined with her team averaging 18.2 steals per game, helped the
Saints earn the title of NCAA Division III Steals Champions.
Davis’s statistics throughout her career have earned her
accolades both locally and nationally. Davis is the reigning GNAC
Player of the Year (2008, 2009), GNAC Tournament MVP (2009), and
was named to the GNAC All-Conference 1st Team (2008, 2009). She has
also been named to the GNAC All-Tournament Team (2007, 2008) and
has earned the title of GNAC Player of the Week eleven times in her
career. Davis has been recognized by D3hoops.com as a 2009-2010
Pre-Season All-American (2nd Team), and was an Honorable Mention on
the 2009 All-American Team (1st Team All-Northeast Region).
