BYU women’s basketball: New York’s ‘female Jimmer’ becoming a star in Provo

It is a stretch to say that the 5-foot-9 junior is approaching Fredette's popularity and status as one of the best players in BYU basketball history — she never will win National Player of the Year honors, for instance — but Broadhead is leading the West Coast Conference in scoring at 18.4 points per game after averaging just 3.9 points per game last season as a seldom-used sophomore. Fredette jumped from 18.5 minutes and 7.0 points per game his freshman year to 33 minutes and 16.2 points per game his sophomore season.

"It is kind of funny, yeah, because we grew up in the same area, and our high schools are rivals," Broadhead said.
