Oakton's Running Raiders Ready to Go
The Oakton Community College women's basketball team will focus on their speed in the upcoming 2004-05 season, according to Raiders head coach Rich Bolinder.
"We plan to play up-tempo basketball and use the fast break a lot this season," says Bolinder."This is one of the quickest teams I've had in a long time."
The Raiders this year have more depth than previous teams, Bolinder says. However, of the 15 players on the roster, 14 are freshmen. "I'm still very confident," Bolinder says. "I've been impressed with their intensity."
Freshmen expected to make valuable contributions this season are 5-0 forward Koula Damianides (Glenbrook South High School), 5-1 guard Tanya Alba (Maine West High School), and 5-7 guard Lee Gross (Niles West High School).
The Raiders begin the 2004-05 campaign 5 p.m., Friday, Nov. 12 when they host College of Meramec. The Raiders start conference play Jan. 11 when they host Elgin at 5:15 p.m.
Last season the Raiders were one win away from becoming the first women's basketball team in Oakton history to participate in the National Tournament.
