The Bronchos also have back sophomore guard Erica Bramlett , sophomore center Kim Mullendore and junior center Zuzana Krumlova . Bramlett saw limited playing time last season, while Mullendore and Krumlova both sat out last year. Mullendore started most of her freshman year in 1998-99 before missing last season with a broken foot, with Krumlova redshirting last year after transferring from Oklahoma. UCO s lone newcomer is sophomore forward Alyson McDermott , a transfer from Northwestern Oklahoma who is expected to help out when she becomes eligible for the second semester. We re deeper than we ve ever been, but everybody is going to have to accept their role, Keely said.
Players have to realize that when their time comes to play that they have to be ready.
We can t start everybody and we have to find the right chemistry. The returning talent and a productive off-season program has Keely and the Bronchos confident about their chances to contend for the LSC North Division title. We had the best off-season since I ve been here, said Keely as he enters his 21st year at the helm. The players really took charge, maybe because of the disappointment of last year, and they worked extremely hard in the off-season to get ready. Sophomore Tawni Meek is set to handle most of the point guard duties for the second straight season and she s poised to have a stellar sophomore year.
