The Jamestown College Women's Basketball team opens up Ocotber 23 & 24 versus Brandon University. Jamestown College returns a large portion of their 2008-09 squad that won 20 games and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament. Six seniors will provide plenty of experience for Head Coach Mark Wiest. Leading the way is fifth-year senior shooting guard, Amanda Rantapaa (pictured above) . She will be joined in the back court by another senior shooting guard, Katie O'Neill (pictured right) who was on her way to a tremendous junior year before suffering a season ending injury shortly before Christmas. Rounding out the back court will be junior, Kellie Schuneman (pictured left), entering her third yeat as the Jimmies starting point guard. Senior Ali Edwards, who is currently enjoying a successful season with the Jimmie volleyball team will be joining her teammates after the volleyball season comes to a conclusion.
The front court returns as much experience as the back court. Fifth year senior, Giuli Varriano returns after missing the entire season last year with a season ending injury that she suffered in September. Joing her also will be senior, Cori Doubek who also missed last year with an injury. Allison Epping returns for her senior year after joining the Jimmies last year as a junior college transfer. Allie provided immediate depth last year for the Jimmies and she impressed all season.
With this nucleus along with junior, Jackie Hust, junior college transfer Krista Shaikowski, sophomores Dakota Anderson and Nicole Ahlers, the Jimmies return as much experience as anyone in the conference, or for that fact the country.
Head Coach Mark Wiest is also excited about his group of freshman who provide immediate depth, athleticism, and talent.
