On a wing and a prayer

By Beth Mowins
Special to ESPN.com

Here are the top five wings in the country (listed alphabetically, with 1999-2000 stats):

MOWINS' TOP FIVE

Svetlana Abrosimova goes coast-to-coast for the basket:
56.6 | ISDN | T1
Svetlana Abrosimova, Connecticut
Sveta loves to run the floor and is at her best in the transition game. She has a good spot-up jumper and continues to show improvement on the defensive end.
G MIN FG REB AST PTS
3728.4 49.16.2 4.213.4

Swin Cash runs the floor and scores the hoop:
56.6 | ISDN | T1
Swin Cash, Connecticut
Yes, the Huskies have several players that can dominate on the wing. Swin has long arms and legs that allow her to run the floor well, rebound and create problems defensively.
G MIN FG REB AST PTS
3720.8 53.25.3 0.69.9

Katie Douglas stops, pops and celebrates:
56.6 | ISDN | T1
Katie Douglas, Purdue
Katie is solid off the dribble and deadly from downtown. She's a lefty, which, teamed with her size, makes her a tough matchup for any guard. She has the versatility to handle the ball under pressure and post up on the low block.
G MIN FG REB AST PTS
3037.542.56.54.7 20.4

Shea Ralph makes the steal and the hoop:
56.6 | ISDN | T1
Shea Ralph, Connecticut
Shea plays with her heart and her head, and the rest of her plays with above-average skills, too. She has overcome two season-ending knee injuries to lead the Huskies to the title. She has a knack of getting to the free-throw line better than anyone.
G MIN FG REB AST PTS
3728.4 52.43.7 4.914.3

Semeka Randall hits the game-winner against UConn last February:
56.6 | ISDN | T1
Semeka Randall, Tennessee
Semeka is often recognized as the game's best defender, and deservedly so. She's a terror in the Lady Vols' full-court press, and she is a great finisher in the open court. She plays with tremendous emotion and spunk.
G MIN FG REB AST PTS
3729 41.85.3 1.914.0
