Point guard Stephanie Raymond led the NIU women’s basketball team’s attack all season.

Raymond led the Huskies in scoring and assists with 16.4 and 4.3 respectively.

The 5-foot-5 senior took time to chat with the Northern Star about her most memorable moment of the season and her picks for the NCAA tourneys.

Northern Star: What was your most memorable moment of the season?

Stephanie Raymond: Definitely making it to Cleveland, considering it was the first time in four years. It was really great to experience it with new coaches.

NS: What’s it like to score 1,000 points for your career?

SR: It’s a good accomplishment. There’s so much talk about my height, but it says a lot about my ability.

NS: What’s better: an assist, a three pointer or a layup?

SR: Definitely an assist. It’s making the other person and the team better.

NS: Candace Parker dunked twice in one game during the women’s NCAA tournament. What would you give up to dunk?

SR: Anything. If I could be four or five inches taller I think I could do it. I’ve been talking about it since high school, but it’s never going to happen.

NS: Why do you wear No. 12?

SR: It was my number in AAU basketball. I wore 33 in high school but when I came to NIU, Stephanie Smith was wearing it.

NS: Who’s your pick to win the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments?

SR: For the women, North Carolina. For the men, Villanova.
