Wichita State women's basketball coach Terry Nooner needed a point guard. He found one, thanks to a chance conversation with a former Shocker.

"Getting Taya was a real lucky thing," Nooner said after Monday's 96-42 season-opening win over NCAA Division II Lincoln (Mo.) University at Koch Arena.

A little luck and a prior relationship paid off for the Shockers. Taya Davis, a transfer from Fordham, debuted with seven points, nine assists and four steals. She looked the part of the pass-first point guard Nooner needed.

"I love playing with her," guard Jaila Harding said.
