Washington washington and lee2006-07 SEASON PREVIEWFourth-year head coach MandyKing has a feeling that this could bea lucky year for the Washington andLee women's basketball team. It’s notthe brand of luck that implies chance,rather something else. It’s more thevariety of luck that was once spokenin an adage attributed to Thomas Jefferson.Paraphrased, the aphorism byJefferson states, "I'm a great believerin luck and I find the harder I work, themore I have of it."Based on Jefferson’s logic andthe commitment the entire team hasmade during the off-season, Kingbelieves the Generals can shake theirrecent string of eighth-place finishesin the ODAC and have a breakoutseason."In the past, that hasn't happened,"said King, speaking of thelevel of effort exuded in the monthsleading up to October 15. "But, this team has (worked hard) and I think that means theywant it more -- it is a priority to them. For the first time since I've been here, basketball is thenumber one priority for everyone on the team."Something else that King is seeing for the first time in her W&L tenure, is an increasein leadership on the team."I think that with this season, the most impressive thing has been our leadership thusfar," she stated. "It seems like this year, something has lifted off the top of our program. Theupperclassmen know they are leaders."Setting the tone for the team is senior center Jessica Hunsinger (6-foot-0). A threeyearletterwinner and team captain, Hunsinger was a Second-Team All-ODAC and all-stateselection a season ago. King hopes Hunsinger can build upon a junior campaign that washighlighted by leading the team in points (15.2 ppg), leading the ODAC in blocks (2.8 bpg) andrebounds (10.0 rpg), and becoming the sixth player in W&L history to score 1,000 points."She's just gotten better every single year," said King of her starting center. "I thinkshe is going to make a tremendous impact on the league this year. She is playing with agreater confidence and I believe that will translate into her being the best post player in theleague.”Having a top-notch interior presence is among the Generals’ keys to the season, butHunsinger is not the only weapon that King has in her arsenal. Hunsinger is joined by a strongcorps of returning players, including junior guard/forward Kristen Krouchick (5-foot-9), juniorguard Emily Wolff (5-foot-9), sophomore forward Kara Nadeau (5-foot-10) and sophomoreguard Bethany Ridenhour (5-foot-9).A team captain and versatile player, Krouchick started all 26 games last season andaveraged 14.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.1 steals per outing, while also shootingnearly 50 percent from the floor."Kristen is a special player, but she kind of flies under the radar," said King. "I'm notsure why, because she is a very gifted athlete who reads the game very well. She is one ofthe most consistent shooters that we have and yet, incredibly versatile. She can play insideand out and is also a clutch shooter."King is counting on Krouchick to be a key component in starting a majority of herteam’s sets. However, she will not truly be considered the point guard and neither will Wolff,despite starting all 26 games as the point guard last season and averaging 7.0 points, 4.9rebounds and 2.6 assists per game last winter."Emily has been a point guard for two years," said King. "I think we're finally going tobe able to move her into the two-guard position, which is more of her natural position. Taking2

GENERALS BASKETBALLABOUT W&LWASHINGTON and LEE UNIVER-SITY — a small, private, liberalarts college, is the ninth oldestinstitution of higher education inAmerica. Founded in 1749, W&Lprides itself on the characteristicsthat have earned its reputation asa place unique and apart in thenational educational scene.The school’s name comes fromtwo of America’s great leaderswho saved W&L in times of need.George Washington saved thenLiberty Hall Academy from financialruin in 1796 when he gave theschool its first major endowmentgift—$50,000 worth of James RiverCanal stock. The donation—atthe time the largest to any educational institution—continues today as part of theendowment.Robert E. Lee saved then Washington College from obscurity after the CivilWar by serving as its innovative president from 1865 until his death in 1870, andinstituting such programs as the School of Law, the nation’s first school of journalism,and the revered Honor System that continues to play a major role in W&L life.More than 95 percent of W&L’s full-time faculty members hold doctorate orother terminal degrees, and all of them are, first and foremost, teachers. And withan average class size of just 16, W&L students clearly benefit from that expertise.W&L was ranked 14th in the 2006 U.S. News listing of the nation's top liberalarts colleges, marking the 18th consecutive year that W&L has been ranked as oneof the top 25 liberal arts colleges in the nation.W&L also features a highly-ranked School of Law that has been an integral partof the school since 1866. Approximately 120 students receive Juris Doctor degreeseach year and five Master of Laws.With a student body that represents nearly all 50 states and attracts citizens from50 other countries, W&L is truly an international institution set in an idyllic collegetown. USA Today described it this way: “If you close your eyes and conjure up theideal campus—red brick buildings with rows of white columns, a placid commonsbeneath the arching branches of ivy-covered trees, a small town of 19th-centurystorefronts—you’ve got Washington and Lee.”Washington and Lee University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability or veteran'sstatus in its educational programs and activities or with regard to employment.Undergraduate student inquiries should be directed to the Dean of Students, ElrodUniversity Commons, (540) 458-8751, law student inquiries to the Associate Deanfor Student Services, (540) 458-8022, and employment inquiries to the Director ofHuman Resources, Howard House, (540) 458-8920, Washington and Lee University,Lexington, Virginia 24450-0303.
