"Graduation….I didn’t think it would ever get here but now that it has come and gone, I’m busier than ever! I decided to stay at UNC and get my Masters degree in Exercise Physiology for the following 2 years. I will also be a Graduate Assistant for Coach White, who has already put me to work! This past weekend I got to sneak away because my Dad decided to throw a graduation barbecue. The weather wasn’t cooperative, so people ended up leaving early to get out of the rain. I wasn’t upset about it because there was tons of great food left over for me to bring home, including some of my dad’s infamous homemade vanilla ice-cream! YUMMY! Rehab on my knee is coming along. I just recently got released for full range of motion, which means I will be spending plenty of time on the bike for cardio! Lance Armstrong here I come!!"

So far my summer has been pretty good. After finals week I went home for a few days. It was nice to see my parents and brother, as well as a few friends. Since being back in Greeley, I have been doing my weights and basketball workouts. I am also in the process of getting a babysitting job for a few hours each day, which will hopefully help me with my boredom! I also just got done with jury duty, where I was a part of a twelve person jury. It was very interesting and I got to learn several new legal terms. Hopefully it will be a few years before I have to serve again! I also participated in the Boulder Boulder this year with a couple friends. My favorite part was getting to see the different parts of Boulder and just being in beautiful Colorado!!"

Pre-Season National Invitation Tournament on the Horizon
Scheduling for the 2009-2010 season is nearly complete. We are starting off our year playing in the Pre-Season National Invitational Women’s Tournament, where we will play 3, possibly 4, nationally ranked teams. This past winter we got to travel to Cancun, Mexico to play in the Caribbean Classic. Our division included two top 25 teams in Florida State and, the recently undefeated national champs, UCONN. Also in our division was the University of Washington from the Pac-10 conference, whom we defeated with a last second shot! On top of gaining valuable experience, this opportunity gave us a spot in the invitation only pre-season WNIT.
Watch out Tiger, here come the Bears!
Look out! Summer is finally here, which means plenty of golfing! The Second Annual Women’s Basketball Golf Tournament is scheduled to take place August 29th and you can count on all of the Bears taking advantage of the gorgeous weather!!
New Bear Faces: Northern Colorado WBB welcomes Jayne Strand and Emily Elliott to the Bear family!
Jayne Strand joins us from Kirkwood Junior College in Iowa. During her 2 years there, Kirkwood was back to back National Champions!
Coach White’s Quote on Jayne:
“Jayne will bring an inside presence. She’s a great rebounder and will bring championship experience to our team."
“Jayne will bring an inside presence. She’s a great rebounder and will bring championship experience to our team."
Emily Elliott is a Junior College transfer from Casper College in Casper, Wyoming. Emily will be returning to Colorado since she is a graduate from Ponderosa High School in Parker, CO. Emily is interested in pursuing a degree in Pre-Law.
Coach White’s Quote on Emily:
“We’re excited because she’s an in-state kid. We think she’ll be able to help us from beyond the arc right away. Both Jayne and Emily give us instant experience to start off the year!”
Camp Time!!
June is just around the corner, which is Basketball Camp Season in our neck of the woods. To kick the month off right we have our Bear Cub camp June 8-9, dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of basketball to young basketball lovers in a fun and entertaining environment. June 14-16 is our individual camp where we focus on developing all levels of players. It’s a great opportunity to improve your game while having fun! We already have nearly 100 teams scheduled to attend this year’s team camp June 25-27, which is nearly double from last year! GO BEARS!!
Laundry Basketball Anyone?!?

Hey Bear Fans! Today was the big commercial shoot for Comcast at Mountain Meadows Premier Senior Living facility and it went great! Everyone had a blast playing laundry basketball and all the girls are looking forward to Friday night Bingo!! Women’s Basketball logged over 700 plus hours of community service this past year, finishing in the top 3 of all athletic teams. Giving back to the Greeley community is at the top of our team’s priority list and we look forward to another event filled year!!
