, PAGEEIG~ THE GOLD BUG December 13, 1971 Women's. b - ball women's basketball this year should prove to be one of the most exciting and successful seasons Western Maryland has seen for a number of years. With fifteen games scheduled and the possibility of the Maryland State Tournament looming ahead, coach Carol Fritz is extremely anticipatory about this year's team, "What I think is most exciting is the fact that we have more experience in depth-- there are more girls who know how to playa position, and the level of the team's playing and personal maturity is very high. We'll have much better bench depth, so I'm looking forward to a strong season." Twenty-five women are playing basketball this year) 9 of which are freshmen. All of last year's junior class is back as seniors, and since only one senior graduated last year, .the two teams should be strong in experience. Coaching the Junior Varisty is Senior Chris Reinert, and Senior Jean Meyer is a playing assistant to coach Carol Fritz Fran McCabe and Nancy Dawkins Picklous will once again assume the roles of Varsity co- captains; the Junior Varsity team, as of yet, has not been decided. The teams this year are being managed by Sue Head and Cheryl Irving. Phil Cjbo rowski practices swimming techniques as WMC swim team prepares for January term meets.
