Dundee-Crown Chargers

Coach Michelle Russell (2nd year, 2-25)

Conference Fox Valley (Valley)

Last year 2-25 (0-10 FVC Valley)

Top returners Seniors Megan Fasanella (5-7 G), Lindsay Mosher (5-7 G/F)

Top newcomers Junior Alexis Holm (5-5 G); sophomore Ali Sanders (5-6 G)

Outlook Coming off a tough first season, Russell has high hopes for this group of Chargers, despite the fact she only has two players back with varsity experience. Fasanella averaged 5.2 points per game and had 15 3-pointers last season. "It's a whole different team this year," said Russell, the leading scorer in Dundee-Crown history. "A great goal for us would be to go .500. The sophomores won 8 or 9 games last year so I'd like to win in that 12 range this season. That would be a great improvement for us. This team has a lot of potential. It's like a puzzle right now. They're trying to learn each other and understand each other. It's a nice group of girls. They hustle, they work their butts off and they listen."
