Claire Ioannidis | Credit: University of North Florida The 5'6 junior transfer guard led the way for North Florida in an opening day win with a massive 29 point explosion - the most in a single game in school history! Ioannidis was a perfect 12/12 from the free throw line, also a school record, while she would also land 3/6 from the three-point line. She came up big down the stretch for the Ospreys with her free throw shooting to help seal a 62-55 win over UMKC. Her performance is one of the best ever debuts of any Aussie female in college hoops history, and it certainly paved the way for many more of her countrywomen to shine on opening day.
