John Wooden said it best: “The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.”
Heading into last Thursday’s conference matchup against Texas San Antonio, WKU sophomore guard Kayla Smith was averaging just 3.6 points per game. While the Lady Toppers rely on consistent production from All-Conference USA guards Kendall Noble and Tashia Brown, the balance in their roster allows for different players to step up and shine.
Smith came off the bench scoring 17 points on six of seven shooting from the field against UTSA, and although they lost the game, Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard remains optimistic about the team’s depth.
