That confidence and comfort as well as "Extra practice three times a week with one of my coaches" sees the twenty year old shooting a heady 57% from the field, the highest field goal shooting percentage in her Conference, "I had no idea I was the top field goal percentage shooter", said Beck.
There will be stiff competition for Tall Ferns places come June when the team departs for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Nantes but Beck is hoping her efforts on the international stage last year, when she was an ever present in the black singlet, will stand her in good stead with the international selectors.
"I am absolutely hoping to make Tall Ferns again. It is always an honour playing for your country and, although it isn't a focus right now, it will be my main focus after the college season. It would be an amazing experience to see France, and to play in Europe. I haven't done either before."
When asked what she misses most about New Zealand Beck replies, "Meat pies". With unfinished business in California and France on the horizon the modest 20-year-old may have to wait a while before enjoying the taste of her favourite Kiwi delicacy.
