Shelly brings a spark off the bench igniting the Lady Panthers pressing defense. I think we have a special group and we could be just as successful. The Lady Panthers continue to try and power teams with their physical abilities. I feel we kind of snuck up on a few teams last year, so it will be a challenge for us this year. The undersized Panthers under the direction of Cummings pride themselves on their defense and rebounding.
Teams know who they have to stop.
Cummings and the Panthers look to seniors Angie Benham, Tracey Steinke sophomore Janel Swinehart and freshmen Meggee McCumbs and Carrie Eckstein to give this support. Our success last year opened some eyes and I think teams are a little more prepared for us this year. The Lady Panthers will be challenged all year with a tough conference and non-conference schedule. ODC open s up on the road traveling to the Shippenberg Tournament on November 17-18. Their return trip brings them back to Alumni Hall for their first home contest with Denison University.
