The 2007-08 West Chester University Lady Rams basketball team will be an experienced bunch that has gone through the ups and downs of a full collegiate basketball season together that saw them finish with a 15-13 record a year ago. The Rams finished second in the PSAC East with a 9-3 record.
After losing to the Millersville Lady Marauders 57-54 at Hollinger Field House in the PSAC Quarterfinals to end the 2006-07 season, coach Deirdre Kane does not have to start from scratch this year.
The only Lady Ram missing from this year's squad is senior captain Dominique Lewis. The remainder of the team is returning and accounted for. Mix in the additions of some recruits, and this team has the mix of both experience and young talent necessary to make a run at a PSAC Championship.
Returning for the Rams this year are seniors Katie Kline, Amanda Vitzakovitch and captain Catherine Andrews.
Last season, Kline was a first-team All-PSAC selection and she was honored by the PSAC as she was named to the league's Winter Top Ten Award-winners list. Kline averaged 15.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 45.9 percent from the field. She led the team in scoring average and ranked second in rebounds behind Lewis.
Vitzakovitch was a spark off the bench for the Lady Rams in 2006. She averaged 5.8 points per game and 2.5 rebounds per game. Vitzakovitch also shot 40 percent from behind the arc.
Andrews will yet again run the show for the Lady Rams. As the starting guard/forward, she averaged 3.2 assists per game as she was doing her best to get her teammates involved. She also averaged 7.8 points per game.
Also returning for the Lady Rams this year is junior Natalie Winters and sophomore Lindsay Weller.
Winters started last season for the Rams. She averaged 9.5 points per game, 3.3 rebounds per game, and 2.8 assists per game. Winters also shot 85 percent from the foul line.
Weller was also a starter for the Rams last season. She averaged less than 5 points per game and 2.5 rebounds per game.
