From Fairfax, Virginia, Paula Schuler was a key cog in a dominant era of women's basketball at James Madison. The guard helped the Dukes go 97-25 in four seasons, including 45-5 in conference games. As a senior, she helped the Dukes shock the college basketball world with a 73-71 victory at No. 1 seed Penn State, which marked the first time in men's or women's basketball history that a No. 1 regional seed lost its opening game of the tournament. Schuler still stands as JMU's career record holder for 3-point shooting percentage at .471 (98-208) and holds two of the three top season marks in program history at .463 in 1989-90 and the single-season record of .482 in 1990-91. She finished with 1,184 points in 121 career games along with 438 rebounds, 419 assists (eighth in JMU history), 24 blocks and 134 steals.
