Coffey currently has 1,974 points and 1,032 rebounds in her Northwestern career, needing just 26 points to be the fifth Big Ten student to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, joining an elite group that includes Illinois' Jenna Smith (2007-10), Minnesota's Laura Coenen (1982-85), and Ohio State's Jessica Davenport (2004-07) and Jantel Lavender (2008-11).
