Women's Basketball - A year in review

Women's Basketball - A year in review

RESULTS:  23-6 overall, 12-2 conference

TOP PERFORMER:  Gabby Foy (Wilton, ME)
Foy was named a USCAA DII 1st Team All-American this year, as well as a Yankee Conference 1st Team All-Star.  She averaged 18.3 points per game, scoring a career high, 31 points in a win @ Thomas College.  She also eclipsed the 1,000 point career total on 2/12/15 @ SMCC.  Foy became only the 6th player in program history to reach this milestone.  She will be playing at Rochester College next year on scholarship.

TOP ROOKIE:  Kat Styles (Franklin, NH)
The freshman small forward averaged 10.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game while shooting 47% from the floor.  Styles scored in double-figures 15 times, including a career high, 23 points in a loss @ Dean College.  She was 3rd in the team in scoring average, and 7th in minutes played.

MOST IMPROVED:  Alex Rowe (South Paris, ME)
Although she averaged just 6 points per game, no one can deny the positive impact of Rowe on the Lady Mustangs.  After taking a year off, Alex fought off numerous injuries to be a high impact player off the bench for CM.  Playing 16 minutes per game, Rowe scored in double figures 4 times, including a career high, 15 points in a loss vs. CSJ.

BREAKOUT STAR:  Laura Soohey (Bremen, ME)
Soohey joined Foy as a USCAA DII 1st Team All-American and a Yankee Conference 1st Team All-Star.  A double-double machine, Soohey averaged 11.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, while shooting 53% from the floor.  She scored a career high, 26 points (on 12-15 shooting), in a win @ UMA.  Soohey will be playing at Rochester College next year on scholarship.

FUN FACT:  The Lady Mustangs improved their record vs. NCAA DIII schools to 8-0 over the past two years.  This year's exhibition results were:

10/31/14, @ Daniel Webster, W 65-48
11/6/14, @ Wheelock, W 74-52
11/8/14, vs. Thomas, W 88-47
11/14/14, @ Thomas, W 70-49

OUTLOOK:  2015-16 women's basketball season should be an exciting one for the Lady Mustangs.  With several returners, CM will be welcoming one of the best recruiting classes in the programs history.  A competitive schedule, led by the defending USCAA National Champion, Penn State - Beaver, and national finalist College of St. Josephs, will help the Lady Mustangs prepare for a chance to win their 4th YSCC Title in the last 5 years.
