Davis, a good rebounder who was a Junior college All-America at Cen- tral Arizona. • • • ,WI!_- A 16-13 record may eem modest, oot it represented USD's best record in six seasons in Division I. Now, the Toreras are ready for what is expected to be their best sea- son ever. Coach athy Marpe returns fo r starters from last season's WCAC runnerup to USIU, including leading scorer and all-conference guard Julie Evans (6-0, soph , 13.5 ppg, U rpg) and 6-3 senior center Kelli Behren (10.3 ppg, 7.3 rp ). USD also has a talented newcomer in 5-9 guard Jane Gilpin, who redsh1rted last sea on after transfer- rmg from Penn State. Gilpin is an excellent outside shooter prompting Marpe to say, "With Jane, you can add 15 points a game to our score." • • • UCSD - UCSD was supposed to have one of its biggest teams in memory with three six-footers, but two are injured and the other won't be eligible until December. Leadmg scorer Heidi Jungling (11.9 ppg, 7.0rpg) injured her ankle in preseason conditioning, but the 6-1 University High grad "is now coming back around," said coach Judy Malone. Senior point guard Shanda Elzy (4.0 ppg) is an All-American candi- date, but it will take more than her talents to improve last season's 34- • • • POI T LOMA NAZARENE After coaching the men's team from 1954 to 1%8 when the college was located in Pasadena and known as Pasadena College, Champ Cart- wright is back as the women's coach at Point Loma Nazarene College. Cartwnght compiled a 231-126 record in hat time and is now coach- ing women for the first time on an interim basis while oach Bill Olin program at USC. The Crusaders were 4-24 and sixth in NAIA District 3 under a diffe ent interim coach last season, but return Shannon Anderson (16.3 ppg, 8.7 rpg) and Ann Duffy (13.5 ppg, 5.6 apg). 01m1l1let1a. · w<>-y r doct pendent.

'I was awkward for a long time, and I'm still trying to get it together' - Connie Waikle, left not yet used the full extension on h r arms. And she need som work on h r pivot. But we cer- tainly did not recruit her to 1t on the bench. We certainly want her to get her experience and she can't do that . "I think havmg her on the team will help our recrmting program, help publicity, and help the overall worn n' program, not only at San Diego State, but all over the coun- try." And who know , if Gerald Murray gets hurt . • • • D U - San Diego late holds the distinction of being the only team ran ed m the c;soc1ated Press Top 20 that i · min ,Cl ing · n u a h zt are ranked 18th m the preseason poll how t at h 1 n . re. Back ar four tarters om their 14-17 (6-8 in the PC ) earn plus the addition of Waikle and t season's Missoun high cbool yer the year, fl-8 guard Alison Smith 24 ppg). The Azt , however, wer brought Into the national potlight by a play- er who will not play this season - Chana Perry. One national basket- ball publication wrote: "Perry, p t imply, is the best center in college ba ketball." The 6-3 Perry wa ruled ineligible to play for Northeast Louisiana last season because of alleged recruiting violations and resurfaced at SDSU last spring. Although she lS cleared to play by NCAA tandards, her grades are close to borderline-eligi- bility causing Riggms to redshirt her as a rrera11tion so that she can con- central on her studies and raise her grad • pomt average The possibility of two future seasons with Perry are too appealing to risk losmg her after one. The top 20 ranking, however, came out after the decision for Perry to red ·hirL San Diego State returns one of the best forward duos in the coun- try in 6-1 senior Shelda Arceneaux (14.9 ppg. 10.1 rpg. 3.2 steals pg) and 6-0 sophomore Jessica Haynes (16.0 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 2.8 spg), who was the PCAA's freshman of the year. Both have received some preseason All• America honorable mention recogni- tion. With the addition of Waikle, 6--t sophomore Brooke eadows (8.9 ppg, 5.3 rpg) can switch to her more natu- ral position of forward and spell Wa1- kle at center. Also back m the start- ing lineup is fl-8 senior point guard Lisa Stevens (10.3 ppg, 3.3 assists pg). • • • USIU - Who was San Diego's top women's team last year? U.S. lnter- nattonal. The Gulls (24-9) ran off with the first West Coast Athletic Conference women's title and were invited to the ational Invitational Tournament, finishing sixth of eight teams When fourth-year coach Cassie Macias took over, USIU began win- ning consistently for the first time, but he won't have WCAC player of the year Toya DeCree anymore. Nonetheless, USIU is expected to repeat with three returning starters on a team devoid of seniors. They are: ~10 guard Sonya Carter (15.8 ppg), last season's WCAC fresh- man of the year; 6--t junior cente Fiona Murray (10.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg), a former member of the English junio national team; od 6-2 junior for, ward Amanda pry (10.3 ppg), also ol En land.
