Coach Ardie McInelly's club has the best defense in the conference, giving up just 56 points per game and allowing opponents to shoot just 36 percent from the field. Forwards Mandi Carver and Ashley Toner score in double figures, but Jennifer Griffin, a 5-foot-5 junior point guard, runs the show.Player to Watch
