STEVENS POINT, Wis. – UW-Stevens Point's Sam Barber (Schofield, WI/D.C. Everest/Winona St.) will add one more accolade to her already esteemed resume when her jersey will be on display in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame's “Ring of Honor” as a reflection of her outstanding play in the 2012-13 season. 
 
Barber, Division III State Farm/ Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Player of the Year, becomes just the second Pointer to have her jersey displayed in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame since the display began in 1999. She will join Britta Petersen who received the honor following her performance during the 2010-11 season.
 
“I am just honored that I had the opportunity to be part of UWSP and that I have been able to work with everyone from the community,” says Barber. “It's been fun and I'm thankful for my opportunities.”
 
A WBCA First Team All-American, Barber earned back-to-back Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Player of the Year awards and led the 2013 Pointers to a 24-6 overall record and the program's sixth straight conference tournament title.
 
The guard started all 30 games for the Pointers, averaging a team-high 19.1 points and a team-high 7.5 rebounds. She connected on 43.6 percent of her shots from 3-point range, 49.1 percent of her field goals and 78.3 percent from the free-throw line. She also recorded 57 steals, 43 assists and 32 blocked shots.
 
The Schofield, Wisconsin native spent three seasons in a Pointers uniform after transferring from Winona State after her freshman year.
