From Wikipedia:
"Jackie Marie Stiles (born December 21, 1978 in Kansas City, Kansas) is a retired basketball shooting guard who set scoring records in college, and then played briefly in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).
Stiles played for Claflin High School in Claflin, Kansas, where she was named a WBCA All-American. She participated in the WBCA High School All-America Game where she scored eighteen points, and earned MVP honors.
She attended Missouri State University (formerly Southwest Missouri State University) in 1998-2001. While there, Stiles became the first and so far only NCAA Division I women’s player to score more than 1,000 points in a season, scoring 1,062 in her senior year.[4] That year, she won the Wade Trophy, which honors the best women's basketball player in the college ranks, as well as the Broderick Cup, which honors the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She competed with USA Basketball as a member of the 2000 Jones Cup Team that won the Gold in Taipei.
During her four collegiate years, Stiles scored 3,393 points, a record for Division 1 women's basketball. On March 10, 2000, she scored 56 points against Evansville, which stands as the fourth highest number of points in a single Division 1 game"
