Hall of Fame
DAYNA SMITH 96' was one of the top point guards in Atlantic 10 history while starring for Rhode Island from 1992-96. One of just 11 players at the NCAA Division I level to record more than 1,000 points and 750 assists, Smith was a key component of the Rams' run to the 1996 NCAA Tournament. That season, the Pittsburgh native dished out 233 assists and helped guide URI to a 21-8 mark and the A-10 East regular season title. She finished her career with 1,174 points - good for ninth on Rhody's all-time scoring list - and 184 three-point field goals, which ranks second all-time in the URI record book. Smith recently made a return to the NCAA Tournament, this time as the head coach of Cornell. In her seventh season with the Big Red, she led the 2008 squad to the Big Dance. She earned her degree in business management in 1996.
