Natalie Doma is one of the best college basketball players in the nation.  Her combination of size and skill make her a tough matchup for any opponent, as national powers such as Stanford (32 points, seven rebounds in the 2007 NCAA Tournament), Texas Tech (21 points, 10 rebounds), UCLA (19 points, 20 rebounds), Montana (20 points, 15 rebounds), Boise State (27 points, 20 rebounds), Montana (30 points, 11 rebounds), and Montana State (33 points, 11 rebounds)  have found out over the last 20 or so games.  Doma spent the summer playing for her home nation of Canada in the University Games, helpng Canada to a 7th place finish, topping their previous two finishes of 11th in 2005 and 13th in 2003.  Doma's skills as a shooter, a defender, and her stamina make her one of the nation's top players, as the following stats bear.

Natalie was named to the State Farm Wade Trophy List on Wednesday, January 23, as one of three new additions, becoming the first Idaho State women's basketball player named to a National Player of the Year watch list.  She then was placed on Wednesday, January 30 to the Midseason Top 20 players in the nation as she is now on the Wooden List, and she is now a Wooden Finalist, one of 17 in the nation.
