He played basketball for the legendary Bobby Knight from 1989-1993. During his tenure at Indiana, Greg was a part of two Big Ten titles and a berth in the 1992 NCAA Men’s Final Four. He is the only player in Big Ten history to lead the league in field goal percentage (55 percent) and 3-point field goal percentage (53 percent) in the same year.

Leadership, however, won’t be in short supply; directing the charge are experienced and talented seniors Keona Bruen, Qaniah Douglas, Emily Wright and Shay Walls. Bruen returns as the leading scorer from last year’s season. Joining her are juniors Jordan Barton and Brandi McKinney, who could be the focal point on the court for the next two years. Juniors Kristien Malone and Bre Turner also look to be key contributors in the Warriors’ quest for success. Also adding to the Lady Warriors’ depth are Rayven Davis, Bianca King, Anna Rowe, Ayannna Smith, and Alyson Gaines. Freshmen BreAnn Denny, Linzi Moore, and Kalliste Haskins are also capable and promising additions to the Lady Warriors nation. First year Coach Michael Brooks and staff acknowledge that the Lady Warriors have not captured a conference win in two years. If the Lady Warriors’ pre-season work ethic and performance are any indication, that will change this season. 6 | Warrior illustrated Winter 2008-2009 | 7
