JUNIOR YEAR (1984-85)
A strong and aggressive Cindy Herr has seen limited playing time since transferring from Elgin Community College after her freshman season, but she has been counted on off the bench when IU opponents have closed up inside. She played in 25 games last season averaging five minutes and 1.9 points. Herr accumulated career and season scoring highs of seven points in 1985 against Northwestern and Purdue. The Wildcat game was a three-for-four performance from the field and the Boilermaker contest a three-for-six. Former Indiana Coach Maryalyce Jeremiah credited Herr with having the best jump shot on the team

SOPHOMORE YEAR (1983-84)
With the adjustment from junior college to Division I ball behind her, Cindy Herr just needs a little playing time to unleash her ability as a scorer. Wielding a pure jump shot reminiscent of that belonging to the graduated Rachelle Bostic, Cindy came to Indiana last year as a sophomore from Elgin Community College. As a newcomer her floor duty was limited by her Division I inexperience and by playing behind an established lineup, During this year's preseason, however, Cindy showed major overall betterment, perhaps due to a new understanding of the Indiana system. If her defense continues on its present line of improvement, Hoosier fans can expect to see Herr shooting over her opponents' heads with much more frequency.
