She was a great coach and made me love this sport. It has been uphill ever since. Cougar head coach Sandy Montgomery said she had plenty of reason to go after Gilman. A very good choice indeed. Gilman's accomplishments have been piling up since she began her career for the Cougars two years ago.
Some freshman are lucky to get into a game.
Gilman was co-MVP and Freshman of the Year in the Great Lakes Valley Conference in 1995. During her sophomore year, even more honors came rolling in. Even with all these triumphs, Montgomery feels there is even more coming from her star. She's got a good work ethic and has a lot of potential. Gilman has been bothered by a nagging shoulder injury and had surgery in May.
