SENIOR YEAR (1987-88)

She also chipped in with 41 assists and will definitely help the team in that category this year. Last season she scored a career high 11 points in a game against Illinois where she was perfect from the line. Recovered from her injury, Nancy looks to contribute to the team in many ways.

JUNIOR YEAR (1986-87)
