They were a tremendously exciting team to watch and next year brings a huge heap of anticipa- tion with many young stars to build off of. Although the team will be without Carlye Hicks’ amazing ver- satility, as well as the butter clutch suburban size range of Lindsay Anderson, next year’s T-Wolf team will be stacked with yous and ma- turing talent. The UNBC Timberwolves bene- fited from two incredible rookie sensations this season in Kady Dan- deneau and Chelsea McMullen who will hopefully both be returning for an encore next year. The T-Wolfs will be complimenting their two new superstars with three prime- time veterans in Soili Smith, Laurel Wallace, and Jaclyn Nazareno. Dandeneau, who earned a spot on this year’s All-Rookie All-Star team with her tough aggressive style of basketball, will be coming back for what will, no doubt, be a highlight reel of a sophomore season. Hail- ing from Pender Island, the 59” forward is a product of the superstar factory, Stellys Secondary School. Kady made an instant impact on the T-Wolfs this season with her un- faltering and unapologetic competi- tive edge and is absolutely, without question, a future hero on this team. Mickey Mantle would be honored knowing she wears number seven. Like Dandeneau, T-Wolf forward Chelsea McMullen also just com- pleted a stellar freshman year. Mc- Mullen showcased her intensely focused athleticism and was a huge inspiration on the court. Murdoch’s T-Wolves will look for McMullen to carry her tenaciously effective hustle onto next year’s squad and I will put ten to one odds on the fact - that she will not disappoint. Third year student, Soili Smith blossomed into an absolutely dom- inant basketballer this season, at the post position, and will only improve upon her unflappable presence in the paint next year. Although Smith’s 5’9” frame was often outsized she was never outmatched and continu- ously played with tremendous heart and with an unmatchable level of endurance. Smith will be a huge part of next year’s T-Wolfs and will look to continue her league wide domination of rebounding and un- canny inside skills. Laurel Wallace and, team captain, Jaclyn Nazareno will both be enter- ing their final year of eligibility next season and will be setting their sights on finishing with a gold medal from the CCAA National championships. Wallace and Nazareno both played at the same ridiculously awesome level that they have throughout their entire T-Wolf careers. Wallace won the honour of BC- CAA player of the week during the Provincial playoffs as she led our T-Wolfs to the gold medal. While Nazareno won the BCCAA player - of the week award in week 5 by scoring 22 points and grabbing four steals against the Okanagan Lakers of Kelowna. Nazareno was also the lone T-Wolf selected to this years BCCAA first All- Star team. So there it is, the starting five for our UNBC Timberwolves next sea- son, at least I’m predicting they will be the starting five pending any hot- shot freshmen who may be recruit- ed here. But with this team, and this line-up, I imagine even Winnipeg’s Debbie Yeboah would have a hard time pushing her way into a starting role. It is going to be one amazing season to watch, if you can avoid graduating I absolutely suggest do- ing so, because you definitely don’t want to miss out on next season’s UNBC Timberwolves domination of Canadian women’s basketball. Although Smiths 5’9” frame was often outsized she was never out- matched and continuously played with tremendous heart and with an unmatchable level of endurance.
