Amy Jaeschke (Women's Basketball, 2001-05)
One of the most dynamic student-athletes in the modern era of Northwestern Women's Basketball, Amy Jaeschke graduated as the school's leading shot blocker and remains third in program history in scoring and fourth in rebounding. She earned four All-Big Ten awards, an AP All-America honorable mention and was a finalist for the Wooden Award in her senior season.

She averaged 21.4 points and 9.0 rebounds en route to being named All-Big Ten first team for a second time in addition to being a candidate for the Wooden Award, the State Farm Wade Trophy, the Naismith Trophy and the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
Jaeschke ended her career with 357 blocks, which ranked in the top-20 all-time in NCAA Division I history at the time of her graduation. A third-round WNBA draft pick of the Chicago Sky, Jaeschke went on to play professionally overseas in both China and Russia.
