Iman Davis made history at the end of the 2008-2009 season by becoming the first Great Northeast Athletic Conference basketball player, male or female, to attain career levels of 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 300 assists. Davis’s career totals of 1,474 points, 621 rebounds, and 346 assists earned her a spot in GNAC women’s basketball history. Adding her statistics through seven games played this season, the senior guard is currently in 3rd place all-time with 1,501 career points, in 10th place with 351 career assists, and in 24th place with 636 career rebounds.

Davis has the potential to move up even further in the rankings before she hangs up her Saints uniform at the end of this season. Davis is 306 points away from overtaking 1st place (1806), and 70 points away from 2nd place (1,570). Davis could also take the top spot on Emmanuel’s 1,000 Point Club from Lesa Dennis (1,626).

Last season Davis lead the conference in points (18.5 ppg), was ranked 2nd in steals (2.8 stpg), 6th in assist/turnover ratio (1.1 ratio), 7th in assists (3.8 apg), and 8th in field goal percentage (.465). Currently, the senior triple-threat ranks 1st in the GNAC in steals (3.6 stpg), 2nd in assist-turnover ratio (1.5 ratio), 8th in assists (3.4 apg), 9th in scoring (13.9 ppg), and 12th in rebounding (8.6 rpg). Back in 2008, Davis finished the season in 3rd place in Division III, averaging 4.4 steals per game, which, combined with her team averaging 18.2 steals per game, helped the Saints earn the title of NCAA Division III Steals Champions.

Davis’s statistics throughout her career have earned her accolades both locally and nationally. Davis is the reigning GNAC Player of the Year (2008, 2009), GNAC Tournament MVP (2009), and was named to the GNAC All-Conference 1st Team (2008, 2009). She has also been named to the GNAC All-Tournament Team (2007, 2008) and has earned the title of GNAC Player of the Week eleven times in her career. Davis has been recognized by D3hoops.com as a 2009-2010 Pre-Season All-American (2nd Team), and was an Honorable Mention on the 2009 All-American Team (1st Team All-Northeast Region).
