College years

---

Beard is best known as the slashing shooting guard who led Duke University to two appearances in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.

Though she has to be considered as one of the best college players in recent history, she often stood in the shadow of Diana Taurasi of the University of Connecticut who played the same four seasons as Beard and led the Huskies to three consecutive national titles to close out her career. In the 2004 WNBA Draft, Taurasi was taken first and Beard second overall.
