Show THURSDAY. OCTOBER 12. THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE WOMEN'S HOOPS continued from page 8 selected to repeat as conference champions by both the MWC coaches and media. Utah returns n of its 13 ietterwin-rer- s from last year, with only starting point guard Tiana Fuertes and seldom-use- d Whitman Janna via both graduation. departing And while losing Fuertes, a four-yestarter, is significant, the team certainly has enough returning talent to justify the hype and expectations surrounding it. The process gets started this Saturday when the team holds its first practice of the season. Elliott said that all the players are eager to show what they can do this season. "The kids have returned in good shape, and everyone is anxious to get on the court or. Saturday," she ar said. While Fuertes' leadership will be missed, there is plenty of talent around to make up for her absence. Leading the way are three players who were named Second Team last season. Junior Lauren Beckman, the team's starting center, was tops on the Utes in points, rebounds and blocked shots per game. She was also named a preseason selection this year. Kristina Andersen, a starting forward, and Amy Ewert, a swing player, are the other two Utes to be named last season. Andersen was second on the team in both scoring and rebounding, while Ewert was third in scoring and is considered the team's best All-MW- C , All-MW- C defensive player. Other key returnees include senior Lori a forward and last starting year, junior guard Erin Gibbons. The former was fourth on the team in scoring a year age, while the latter ranked among the nation's best in three-poishooting percentage. Juniors Catherine McColl, Lindand Lindsay say Herbert all return as well, and are expected to see significant playing time this season. Herbert is considered one of the team's best 1 32. nation's top-2- 5 nt Sodja-Boudre- W Tv X'V au WH iik V - Mfe all-arou- nd players. Additional depth comes in the form of Erin Hansen, a forward who missed most of last year with a shoulder injury, and sophomore center Carley Marshall, who is recovering from offseason ankle surgery, but is expected to fully, am r Mt recover. Meanwhile, sophomore guards Sarah Wobbe and Whitney Sutak are expected to compete for the point guard spot vacated by Fuertes. They will be joined by incoming freshman Kelsy Stire-ma- n one of three newcomers to the team. The other two are guard Amy Bastman and forwardcenter Caroline Matthews. With a roster stocked with experienced and talented players, Elliott believes the Utes are ready to try to fulfill the expectations that have been placed upon them. "As always, it will take a lot of work and effort to maintain and improve upon our seasons of past, but that is our intention," she said. "We are looking forward to getting started."
