Kristine Anigwe led Division I in rebounding in 2018–19

In basketball, a rebound is the act of gaining possession of the ball after a missed field goal or free throw. This can happen on offense, when a player recovers the ball after their own or a teammate's missed shot attempt, or on defense when a player recovers the ball after an opponent's missed shot attempt.

Contents

Beginning with the 1981–82 season, the NCAA began officially sponsoring women's basketball. That season, Anne Donovan became the first player to lead NCAA Division I women's basketball in rebounds per game (rpg).

Only four players have led NCAA Division I women's basketball in rebounds per game on multiple occasions; Patricia Hoskins (1986–87 and 1988–89) became the first player to accomplish such a feat. She was later joined by Courtney Paris (2005–06 and 2007–08). Judie Lomax (2008–09 and 2009–10), then became the first player to lead Division I in consecutive seasons, and she was immediately followed by Courtney Hurt who replicated the feat in 2010–11 and 2011–12.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Double-double</span> Statistic in basketball

In basketball, a double-double is a single-game performance in which a player accumulates ten or more in two of the following five statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. The first "double" in the term refers to the two (double) categories and the second "double" refers to accumulating ten or more in that category. Similarly, a player records a triple-double, quadruple-double, and quintuple-double when accumulating ten or more in three, four, or all five of the statistical categories, respectively. While double-doubles and triple-doubles occur regularly each NBA season, only four quadruple-doubles have ever officially been recorded in the NBA, and no quintuple-double has ever been recorded in a professional basketball game. A similar term, the five-by-five, is the accumulation of at least five in all five statistical categories. It is rarely done.
