Scouting report The Warriors return four starters from last year's team. "That's very promising for us," Mitchell said. Leading that group is Alexa Sharkey, who led the team in just about every statistical category except assists. "I have great expectations for her this year," Mitchell said. "She brings the whole package. She's able to do just about everything for us. We're going to lean heavily on her." Sharkey always has been very good driving to the basket, but she spent the summer working on her shooting. Sister Sydney Sharkey has the outside shot and will be counted on to use it more. Grant and Egebrecht provide the size many bigger schools can only dream about, and they have plenty of ability. "Even our big girls can run the floor. That's a big advantage for us," Mitchell said. "They both have the potential to really be a threat on the inside and really dominate the boards for us."
