She also proved to be
a gritty defender.
Sophomore two-guard Asia
Carroll struggled as a freshman
but has the talent to play
a more prominent role this
year. She averaged 2.7 ppg
and shot 24.1 percent, numbers
that are sure to increase
with maturity and practice for
this gifted guard.
The Pirates welcomed the
arrival of two New Jersey
student-athletes to the guard
roster. Monica Johnson and
Keri Shutz came with tremendous
credentials, and each one
will have the opportunity to
earn playing time at
both guard positions.
Just 5-foot-3,
Johnson nevertheless
averaged 27
ppg during her
illustrious high
school career in
Wildwood. The
5-foot-7 Shutz, out
of Edison, is more
of a pass-first
point guard, but
has a good outside
shot and an
excellent feel for
the game.

With a healthy team,
and an infusion of new
talent, the 2002-03 season
could very well turn all of
the Pirates’ promise and
determination into something
very special.
Three weeks into the
season, the team already was
boasting a winning record,
having defeated Fairleigh
Dickinson, Coppin State
and California. While

top-ranked teams such as
Notre Dame and Connecticut
could prove challenging, the
Pirates are determined to
work together to make the
2002-03 campaign a season
to remember.
“Our senior and junior
classes give us great leadership
and our young players can
really make a difference,”
Mangina says. “Our players
have a good chemistry and are
very talented and determined.
This team is hungry and is
looking forward to playing in
the postseason.”
