Quiet, unassuming Osahor becoming star for Washington women

SEATTLE (AP) — Chantel Osahor would like to make sure this much is clear about her unique shot that has become a signature of this NCAA Tournament:

Osahor had 19 points, 17 rebounds and five assists in the Sweet 16 win over Kentucky, then followed up with 24 points and 18 rebounds in Washington's win over Stanford to reach the Final Four for the first time in school history.

Once she arrived at Washington, Osahor was hit by a car while riding her bike near campus early in her freshman year.

Once she returned from the shoulder problems caused by the accident, she suffered a stress fracture in her foot.

While teammate Kelsey Plum has deservedly received most of the attention for Washington's rise as one of the premier scorers in the country, the Huskies are not playing for a spot in the national title game without Osahor.

Along the Huskies' path to the Final Four, Osahor has developed a legion of new fans for her unique shot and fundamentally fun style of play.

There is not another kid in America you could say is our backup point guard, a shooting guard and a power forward rebounder.
