Rolling Meadows Mustangs

Coach Todd Hatfield (second season) Last year's record 9-21, 0-10

Graduated players Maddy Urban, Paulina Gurbisz, Kelly Zahorski

Returning players Amanda Gunn(5-8 So. G), Madelynn Conlin(5-6 Jr. G), Ann Marie Lynch(5-8 So. G), Kelly Adair (5-10, Sr. F-G), Sara Shumaker(6-0, Jr. F-C), Rene Poellinetz(5-7 Sr. G), Jacklyn Grummel(6-0, Sr. F-C), Cillah Mwansa(5-6 Sr. G), Maryclare Loughery (5-6 Sr. G), Ashley Rios (5-11 Jr. F-C)

Newcomers Josie Suchecki (5-8 So. F), Colleen Clark (5-8 Jr. G)

Outlook Adair is expected to be a leader on and off the court. "She'll play every minute," said second-year coach Todd Hatfield. Lynch and Rios are the other returning starters from last winter. The Mustangs led or were tied in the second half in 13 of their 21 losses last winter. Nine girls return from that competitive team. "I'm hoping the girls learn how to close out games," Hatfield said. "I'm thinking that we can get a couple of more wins but I know it will be tough in the MSL." Lynch led the team in rebounds and assists last year. "But we graduated our top two scorers," Hatfield said. "It will have to be scoring by committee. I hope everyone will step it up a couple of notches to fill the void."
