Beacon: What are your plans for after gradua-
Cochran: I'm actually here for another semester
so graduation isn't scary yet. It's the thought of
not playing basketball that is scary. I would really
like to coach basketball someday. I'll start out
coaching high school, see if I like it first. As for
what I plan to do after graduation, I'm not really
sure yet. There's so much to do with marketing,
but I really like the advertising part of it so I might
do that.

been here. We all love to hang out
with each other. We're not afraid to tell people if
they are doing some
thing wrong
Beacon: What is one
area of your game you
feel you have im
proved the most dur
ing your career here?
Cochran: I think every
thing has improved.
Coach Fornari has made
me such a better all
around player. My
freshman year there was
six freshmen, so I pretty
much never played. In
my sophomore year I
changed from a guard to
the four spot (small for
ward) and then started at
the four spot my junior
and senior year.
Beacon: What is a little known
fact about you or a little known
talent that you possess?
Cochran: I'm pretty simple. I tell
great stories though! (laughter)
Everyone always makes fun of me
because they say my stories are so
horrendous, but they always laugh;
even my coach. That's my thing
on the team.
Beacon: What is one of your fa
vorite sports memories while at
Behrend?
Cochran: Last year at (rival) Pitt-
Greensburg, we beat them on their
home court to host the AMCC
tournament. That was a huge
game for us.
Beacon: Teammate Erica Mozdy
has said that one of the best
things about your team, year in
and year out, is your chemistry.
What are your thoughts on that?
Cochran: I think our team chem
istry has something to do with our
success on the court. This year
tops it off. You can tell by our
record. It is the best since I've
Teammate Erika Mozdy, coach Roz Fornari and Cochran get a cari-
cature together. Great team chemistry is just one of severarrea
sons for the Lions' success this season.

Beacon: Do you feel that you have grown as a
player during your four years with the team?
Cochran: I think that my role has changed over
time. Instead of looking up to people, people are
looking up to me. It took me a little time to get
used to, but it's a role that I definitely like. Whether
it's my teammates asking for academic advice or
basketball help, I'm always glad to help them.
Beacon: Your team has the best scoring defense
in the AMCC, allowing only 53 point per game.
How would describe the way your defense makes
the other teams feel?
Cochran: We're definitely up in your shorts. We
love to put ball pressure on, we love to deny every
thing. We love to get touches on the ball, steals put
pressure on posts, forwards, guards, anyone. I think
defense can win the game so it's a good feeling to
get a steal.
Beacon: Your team also ranks first or second in
nine out of IA categories in the AMCC, and cur
rently is tied with Pitt-Greensburg for first.
What do you see happening for the post-season?
Cochran: We still have Pitt-Greensburg in a regu
lar season match-up on the Feb. 21. so I don't want
to look past that or overlook anything. That game
could be another determiner to host the AMCC tour
nament. I want to say we're going to host, but as
for right now I just want to concentrate on the regu
lar season.
