Even when I was in high school, I’d watch them play at The Palestra in the regional games and you could just see with Kerry Bascom, how they were turning that corner to national recognition. They were just continuing to bring in players to elevate the program and get them to where they are, which is so impressive that they sustain this level of excellence. ... They won the national championship in ’95, which was my junior year, and you’re going against players like Rebecca Lobo and Jennifer Rizzotti and Jemelle Elliott, who’s on staff. You could see how great they were and they got the job done that year and then just continued on to dominate within the Big East and nationally.” [/QUOTE]
