Destinee Wells - Belmont

With averages of 20.5 points and 7.0 assists after leading Belmont to wins over Chattanooga and Ole Miss, Destinee Wells is on her way to proving that she is one of the best point guards in the NCAA.

She also averaged 2.7 steals and shot 40 percent from three in 20 games.

Lorela Cubaj - Georgia Tech

This 6-4 forward picked things up in the second game of the year.

Asiah Dingle - Fordham

Asiah Dingle, a 5-4 guard, averaged 26 points per game on 60 percent shooting in her first two games of the season. She shot 18-30 in her first two games, but get this, she only attempted two three-point shots. In Fordham's first game, a win over Quinnipiac, she shot 11-13 from the free-throw line which lets us know that this little lady was driving to the basket. She scored 34 points in that overtime win. Dingle followed that up with 18 points and 13 rebounds in a 19-point win over Seton Hall.

Kyndall Hunter - Texas

Texas started the season with a laughable 131-36 win over New Orleans. The Longhorns were led in scoring by a reserve freshman. Kyndall Hunter, a 5-7 guard, scored 27 points in just 14 minutes. You read that right, 14 minutes. She shot 10-13 from the field, including 7-8 from three. Not bad for a rookie's first day at work.

Bella Murekatete - Washington State

Bella Murekatete is looking to be a star on both ends of the court during this, her junior season. After averaging just 8.7 points per game last year, she is averaging 17.5 points after the first two games of the year. The 6-3 center led Washington State to two wins, while also averaging 11 rebounds, four blocks and two steals per game. She shot 58 percent from the field in both of those games as well.
