Personal and team accolades, however, are nothing new for Feaster, a native of Chester, South Carolina who now resides in Houston, Texas. In high school Feaster led her team to the Class 4A State Championship as a junior, was a five-time All-State selection, twice earned South Carolina Player of the Year honors and was named a Parade All-American in her senior year after becoming South Carolina's all-time scoring leader, man or woman.
As a freshman at Harvard, Feaster was the unanimous choice for Ivy League Rookie of the Year, and she was a First Team All-Ivy and Second Team All-ECAC honoree as well. She also received Honorable Mention All-America honors, was selected to Basketball America's All-Freshman Team and ranked 16th in the nation in rebounding.
The following season Feaster was named a UPI Honorable Mention All-American and Ivy League Player of the Year. In her junior year she once again nabbed the Ancient Eight's Player of the Year award and Honorable Mention All-American, this time from Kodak, who also named her to its All-Region First Team.
Feaster finished her junior campaign as the only Division I player to rank in the top 15 nationally in both scoring (12th) and rebounding (14th). But she saved her most impressive accomplishments, and play, for her senior year.
Behind 12 30-point games and 20 double-doubles, Feaster finished the season with national rankings of first in scoring (28.5 points per game), 14th in rebounding (10.8 per game) and 16th in steals (3.3 per game). She became the first Ivy League player ever to win a national scoring title.
With her third consecutive Ivy League Player of the Year award, she also became the first Ivy athlete in any sport, male or female, to win Rookie of the Year as a freshman and Player of the Year in each of the next three seasons. She was chosen as a Kodak District 1 All-Region first teamer, an AP Honorable Mention All-American and a Women's Basketball News Service Second Team All-American.
Feaster also became the only woman, and second player, ever to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in Ivy League history. Her final statistics for the season are remarkable: 28.5 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 3.3 spg and 2.6 assists per game. Still, the modest and soft-spoken Feaster will remember her final season in a Harvard uniform for what she accomplished together with her teammates.
"Every year we have team goals, and every year we always seem to fall just a little short of those goals," Feaster said. "More than ever, this year we've been able to accomplish everything we wanted to do.
"Personally, I feel that based on the team's success, each of us has enjoyed our own degree of success, and the same is true of myself."
Joining Feaster on the Kodak All-America Team were Sales, Tennessee's Chamique Holdsclaw and Tamika Catchings, Stanford's Kristin Folkl, N.C. State's Chasity Melvin, Florida's Muriel Page, Old Dominion's Ticha Penicheiro, North Carolina's Tracy Reid and Texas Tech's Alicia Thompson.
