Kendra Reed (Women's Basketball, 2005-09)
Already a 2009 inductee of the Southern Miss Hall of Fame, Reed is no stranger to outstanding work on and off the court. A four-year letterwinner, Reed started an astounding 126 consecutive games, the longest streak in program history and second-most starts on the Lady Eagles' career charts. Reed made her name known for her prowess as a three-point shooter, finished 200-for-525, a 38.1 percent make rate, all three of which rank second on the career charts. Reed averaged 12.2 points per game across her career to score a total of 1,537 points, eighth-most in program history. She also tacked on 311 rebounds, 234 assists and 122 steals.

Quickly garnering the attention of her peers, Reed earned Conference USA's Freshman of the Year Award in her debut season and a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman Team. She would find herself on two more All-C-USA Teams and earned the honor of being a 2009 National Strength and Conditioning All-American. She also received the 2009 C-USA Spirit of Service Award. Most impressively, she is the only three-time C-USA All-Academic honoree in Lady Eagle history. She finished her career ranked eighth in scoring, fourth in free throws made (395), 10th in free throws attempted (460), first in free throw percentage (85.9), second in three-pointers made (200) and three pointers attempted (525). She also holds the record for most free throws made in a game with 18 against UAB in 2006. Her scoring prowess placed her inside the 1,000 point club in her second season as a Lady Eagle as she led the team ins scoring in 2005-06 and 2006-07. She garnered additional fame as a CoSIDA/ESPN Magazine Academic Team member, the 2009 Southern Miss Female Student-Athlete of the Year and a 2009 induction into the Southern Miss Hall of Fame.

Since earning her degree at Southern Miss, Reed has furthered her education with a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from South Alabama, a Doctorate of Medicine in Dentistry from The University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., and an endodontic certificate from Texas A&M. She is a practicing endodontist in Dallas, Texas.
