t 200 I-02 Torero Season Preview

2001-02 SCHEDULE

The University of San Diego women's bas– ketball team, under the direction of 22 nd -year coach Kathy Marpe, enters the 2001-02 season with high aspirations. The Toreros return three starters and nine letter-winners from last season's team that fin– ished 10-16 overall and 5-9 in the WCC. Junior guard Kerri Nakamoto, the team's three-point specialist, highlights a talented group of Torero returnees. Nakamoto averaged 10.5 points a game last season and connected on a team-best 48 three pointers on her way to being selected Honorable Mention All-West Coast Conference. Senior Melissa Glazebrook, who will again lead the team at point guard, joins her in the backcourt. Glazebrook was named to the All– WCC Tournament team in 2000 and was instru– mental in helping the Toreros' capture the con– ference championship and earn San Diego the WCC's automatic bid into the NCAA's two sea– sons ago. Freshmen newcomers, guards Polly Dong and Brandi Collate, along with forward Cassidy Blaine, complete a recruiting class that Head Coach Kathy Marpe feels is going to make this year's team very competitive. "One thing that is really positive about this new season is the fresh– men class," says Head Coach Kathy Marpe.
