2002-03 Roster / Women’s Preview
It has been two years since the
Bloomsburg University women’s tennis
team claimed a PSAC championship. But,
with a strong group of returning players,
the Huskies are primed and ready to
regain the championship trophy they
have claimed seven times previously in
school history.
To accomplish the goal of winning
the PSAC the team will once again need
great play from its top duo of Erin Bartsch
and Beth Fulton. Bartsch is the reigning
PSAC Athlete of the Year in women’s
tennis and compiled 21 wins last season.
Fulton was a solid number two player last
season and earned second team All-PSAC
honors.
“I will be expecting big things from
both Erin and Beth,” said coach Marty
Coyne. “Erin was the top-ranked player in
the East Region last year, while Beth is a
very tough player who should move up
full-time this year to the number two spot
in the lineup.”
Of course you need more than two
players to win a title and the Huskies
have several strong players battling for
time in spots three through six.
Julie Bramante was a pleasant surprise
for the Huskies last year and was listed as
the Player to Watch in the East Region.
Bramante led the Huskies with 22 wins

last year, playing primarily at number four.
Miranda Campbell struggled somewhat
last season, but was 5-2 at the number five
spot last season. The Huskies are looking
for her to regain the form that helped
her post 35 wins in her first two seasons.
Julie McCulley also returns for the
Huskies and will be looking for playing
time at number six singles.
“Julie Bramante really made great
strides last year and Miranda has a big
game that I know will help us post us
some wins,” Coyne added. “Julie McCulley
has also developed a better game and
should help us at the bottom of the
lineup.”
Of course all good teams need an
infusion of youth to set the stage for the
future and the Huskies feel they have
some good freshmen ready to contribute.
Lindsey Wychoff had a tremendous
high school career in Ohio and should
crack the top five of the lineup, while
Brande Hanstein and Lauren Colfer both
are products of the Arthur Ashe Tennis
Center in Philadelphia and will add depth
to the team.
“I am pleased with the freshmen we
will have playing for us this year,” said
Coyne. “All three have had good high
school careers and will help us
immediately.”
