Women's Basketball Team
Looks for Another Regional Title
11/02
The strength of this year's Women's Basketball Team lies in a guard-oriented
attack from the returning backcourt of sophomores Ayesha Fitchett and Kamika
Harden. Lacking in size, the Lady Vikes look for contributions from
every player, especially the team's tallest starter, 5'10" freshman center
Alison Werkman. The only other returning player is guard Michelle
MacInnes. Strong freshmen players include forwards Vicki Jenkins
and Katy McCormack, and guard Courtney Williams, who starred with Fitchett
on the Women's Soccer Team.
Last year Mercer finished 18-13 and, against expectations, captured
the regional title for the fifth consecutive year. Head Coach Mike
Tenaglia is hoping that the Lady Vikes' ability to run, press and distribute
the ball will wear out their opponents and give Mercer another Region 19
championship. He is assisted by Tameka Turner and Kim Webber, manager.
