We have been given a little preview of what the women\u2019s basketball team expects when taking the court after interviewing head coach, Jack Mehl.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Mehl believes that the Lady Blazers will be \u201cvery competitive this year and they expect to play an up tempo, push the ball up the floor style of play\u201d. The Lady Blazers will rely heavily on their defensive pressure to force our opponents to cause turnovers. Causing turnovers will allow the \u201cLady Blazers to capitalize on the opponent\u2019s mistakes by scoring at the other end\u201d, expressed Coach Mehl. The team will be led onto the court by a very solid core of returning players. The senior class is represented by: Verkia Smith, Arianna Delerme, Alexis Briscoe, and Alexis Andrukat. The returning juniors who will play a large part in our success are Allie Appleby and Taylor McGaughey. They also expect Eboni Staples to return to the court after missing last season due to injury. The only sophomore returning is Kristin Histand. The new additions to the Lady Blazers this season are transfer Erin Martin, and the freshmen class which include: Denisha Robinson, Lauron Bagby, Jasmine Webster, Mackenzie Grove, Shannon O\u2019 Meara, and Annyssa Greene. We are definitely looking forward to what the Lady Blazers bring to the court this upcoming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Photo by Charlie Covell The women\u2019s basketball team will start off the season on November 7th vs. Goucher College.
