Maggard compiled one of the great careers in NCAA women's basketball history.

The point guard led Belmont to 108 victories in four seasons, four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, four OVC Tournament championships, signature victories over Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Gonzaga, Florida Gulf Coast, and Middle Tennessee, and a program-best No. 22 national Top 25 ranking.

The Larwill, Indiana native became the first player in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to record at least 400 3-point field goals and 650 assists.

Maggard graduated fourth all-time in NCAA Division I history with 430 3-point field goals - one of only seven players ever with 400 or more treys. In addition, she is the only player with over 400 career made 3-point field goals to post a career 3-point field goal percentage over 40 percent (.433).

A four-time All-OVC First Team selection, Maggard's career free throw percentage (.924) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.77) ranked first, and third, respectively in the NCAA record books upon her graduation.

A 2019 Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention All-America selection, Maggard stands 11th all-time in 3-point field goals per game (3.21).

The guard was named to the 2019 Wade Trophy Watch List, an award given to the nation's top player, and was a two-time Ann Meyers Drysdale Award finalist.

Maggard is one of 19 players in OVC history to score 2,000 points (2,031) and ranks third in conference history in assists (683).

Following her senior season, Maggard was named 2019 OVC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and finished as the national runner-up at the State Farm College 3-Point Championships.

Maggard serves as the head women's basketball coach at Huntington University (Ind.).
