Amber Holt proved to be one of the top women’s basketball players in school history during her two seasons of dominance wearing a Middle Tennessee uniform. Holt not only was one of the best players in Middle Tennessee history, but also the Sun Belt Conference, as she rated as one of the nation’s premier performers based on making four different All-American teams in 2008. Holt led Middle Tennessee to two Sun Belt Conference championships, and two NCAA Regionals during her career. During Holt’s career, Middle Tennessee scored upset wins against two SEC schools both ranked No. 8 nationally at the time – Georgia and LSU. Holt become the first Lady Raider ever to lead the nation in scoring in 2008 when she averaged 27.4 points. To date, she is one of only two Lady Raiders to lead NCAA Division I women’s college basketball in scoring. The 27.4 scoring average is also the third highest ever for a single season as she totaled 930 points for the season. Proving to be the complete player, Holt ranks among the career Top 10 in several categories at Middle Tennessee, including scoring, rebounding and steals. She would go on to become a first-round WNBA Draft selection.
