Four-year varsity players Winans (all-conference, all-area), Hunt (all-conference), Pettenuzzo and Wabik will lead the way. Winans averaged 9.5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 assists per game as a junior. She also led the Knights with 27 3-pointers and had a game-high 21 points against Lyons. Hunt and Wabik were on the Knights 22-14 volleyball team and Hunt was named the MSL East Player of the Year.
