The team has not had too many tough opponants this season with the exception of PSU Ogontz and PSU York. “The toughest teams to play were Ogontz and York. We beat them each at their campuses, but we still have to play them here,” stated sophomore Mark Lindsay.

He works for Boeing and comes to coach the team when he’s not working. He's very dedicated to the team, and I got the feeling be really enjoys coaching the fine players. Freeman told me that the head coach Cece Grimes really strives to get the most out of her players. Grimes fully supports the team. Practice is held every day there isn’t a game, although they may have as many as five games per week. It's tough to have a great practice with all the team members, because school comes first, as it should. Injuries also hamper the practices. When 1 spoke with Freeman, most of the players had injuries. Said Freeman, “The team consists of excellent people who want to be a part of something. They are very competitive; they practice hard and they play hard.” The women on the team play because The stationary bike is just one of many exercise facilities in the fitness center.

In addition, most of the members of the team also have jobs. Reanie Hassiepen, a guard, is said to be the heart of the team. She is a freshman from O'Hara High School who averages between twenty-two to twenty-five points per game. Hassiepen’s number is eleven, so watch for her. Other high scoring team members are Jackie Jackson, number fourteen, who is a sophomore from Elliston High School in Texas. Jackson scored twenty-two points against North Hampton College. Leslie Dawson scored twelve points in that same game. Her number is thirty. Dawson is a freshman from Downingtown High School. Number fifteen, Kristi Hollingsworth, is another high scorer. Hollingsworth is a sophomore from Chichester High School. Karen Hamalak, number thirteen, is a sophomore from Garnet Valley High School. Kathleen Donnelly, a freshman from O’Hara High School, is number twenty. And number twenty- -two, Marla Stambaugh, is a sophomore from Penncrest High School. This semester four players from last semester were lost to Penn State’s Main Campus, and two new players aren’t able to play. This brings the team from eleven members down to seven. Two of the players who went on to Main Campus are Julie Munch, who was a forward guard, but could play any position, and Yolonda Capers, a defense player. They both will be missed this season. Bucks County Community College and Schuylkill College will be the teams to beat this year. They are teams that have the advantage of recruits from the high schools in their areas. It's going to be a challenging season for the Women’s Basketball team, so come on out and support them. They play at 6:00 PM. EILEEN BILL Love your new car, Sexy ! I'm still waiting for my ring !
