Daily News | Villanova’s Maddy Siegrist and Drexel’s Keishana Washington rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the nation in scoring. Here’s the reason why
Maybe not even during warmups.Near the end of their college careers, Maddy Siegrist and Keishana Washington still occasionally get that before either a Villanova or Drexel game, some intrigued newcomer showing up.The game starts, all doubt removed — quickly.Their stats keep adding up. Current NCAA Division I women’s basketball scoring leaders as of Jan. 11:Keishana Washington, Drexel, grad student, 5-7, G, 27.5 ppg.
All that and it turns out there were more points to be had for both. Where do these extra points come from? Where on the court? What does it take for Washington and Siegrist to find them?Where don’t Siegrist’s points come from? Against Georgetown last week at the Finneran Pavilion, Siegrist scored first on three straight possessions.
What she meant, Siegrist said, was that even if she misses a flurry, even misses every shot in one half, nothing changes. She used the words“You’ve played so many games in your career, had so many different experiences,” she said. “Having that to lean back on, no matter what happens.” This night, Washington mostly faced more of a tight man-to-man with lots of help, her primary defender staying close even when Keishana walked over to talk to Drexel coach Amy Mallon while a teammate shot free throws.A Towson player got as close as she could get to the coach and player huddling. Mallon decided to have a little fun.
Defending Washington, even off an inbounds pass, is a trial since she’s got the quickest first step in the game, virtually any game. Dragons inbounders often take most of the five seconds watching Washington move around screens, waiting for her to gain the advantage. With a couple of point guards out there with her … “I don’t have to worry about going back and getting the ball, exhausting energy, having to bring the ball up, run the play, and then the play is for me.”“Then she’s open to the next cut,” Drexel’s coach said. “You’re seeing her getting to an open spot quicker than a defender. It’s hard to guard her even with two players.”
“We knew she was definitely a scoring guard,” Dillon said of recruiting her. “She was thrown into the fire early.”
