Megan Nestor, a rising basketball star from Saint Lucia, made an impressive debut for the University of North Texas (UNT) women’s basketball team, contributing significantly to one of the program’s most dominant victories. In the season opener on November 4, UNT’s Mean Green overwhelmed Oklahoma Christian with a staggering 106-36 win at The Super Pit in Denton, Texas. Nestor, a former national netballer for Saint Lucia, showcased her versatility by recording a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, shooting an efficient 7-8 from the field. Her performance highlighted her transition from Wayland Baptist University, where she set school records in rebounding and emerged as a consistent scoring threat. Nestor’s 15.9 points and 13.5 rebounds per game during the 2023-2024 season earned her the honor of having her jersey displayed at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tennessee. Starting at center, Nestor’s impact was immediate, as she led the team in rebounds and contributed two assists and a block in just 22 minutes of play. Head coach Jason Burton praised the team’s balanced offensive capabilities, noting the presence of players who can stretch the floor and dominate inside. Nestor’s inclusion on the Lisa Leslie Centre of the Year Award Watchlist further underscores her potential. The 106-point outing marked the second time under Burton that UNT has surpassed 100 points, solidifying his teams’ reputation for high-scoring games. UNT will continue its season with a game against Grambling State on Friday night.
