Passing
Defense is vital to
women
s success
By Lory Knapp
Take heed Ohio State and Iowa, this is the year the
Michigan women's basketball team makes its presence
felt.
While the Wolverines may not be up to your caliber,
they are definitely ready to challenge the Big Ten
tradition of the big two and little eight.
An upper division finish could mean an invitation to
either the National Invitational Tournament or the
NCAA tourney. Michigan has never appeared in post-
season play.
However, this current Wolverine team may reverse
that trend as it is mature enough to know how to
compete, especially under pressure.
Leading the team in experience is fifth-year senior,
Lorea Feldman. Despite sitting out last year due to being
academically ineligible, Feldman is still Michigan's
fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,260 points.
"Lorea is as fine a shooter as I've ever seen, a clutch
shooter," said head coach Bud VanDeWege.
Michigan returns its last season's leading scorer in
junior guard and tri-captain Tempie Brown. Finishing
last season as seventh-highest scorer in the Big Ten,
Brown was named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention. This
year, she is a preseason choice for first-team All-Big Ten
honors.
"Tempie is a devasting outside shooter," said
VanDeWege. "In the open court she is a real threat
because she can put up the three-pointer, pull up for the
jumper, and she can drive."
Brown will move over to the lead guard position due
to the loss of graduated senior Vonnie Thompson, who
led the team in assists the past two seasons.
