Welcome to the Family!!!

Here is a little more to know about our four rercruits that make up the 2010 recruiting class!!

D'Shara Strange

1) Do you have a game day ritual? I eat a green apple (because they are my favorite) & I listen to Brooklyn girls by Charles Hamilton

2) Something fun or unique about you that you want Bear fans to know about you? I love to jet ski

3) Why did you choose Northern Colorado? It's a really good fit, home away from home. I love the coaching staff & my teammates

4) How is your senior year going and what are your goals for you and your team this year?My senior year is going well. My goal for my team is to be league champions & make it past second round in the play offs

Kim Lockridge

1) Do you have a game day ritual? Take a nap. Listen to music on my ipod before the game

2) Something fun or unique about you that you want Bear fans to know about you? I like to bake and I work at Wendy's :)

3) Why did you choose Northern Colorado? I love the school, the coaches and the players. It was a perfect fit.

4) How is your senior year going and what are your goals for you and your team this year? I am very busy between all my AP classes, volleyball and basketball, work, and my 6 am medicine class. My goals are first team all state, and for the team, final four

Molly Duehn

1) Do you have a game day ritual? I don't really have that big of a pre-game ritual but for high school season I like to get mentally prepared for the game by watching the jv team play while listening to my Ipod. Each season I make a play list that gets me pumped up for the games.
2) Something fun or unique about you that you want Bear fans to know about you? Both of my elbows are crazy double jointed!
3) Why did you choose Northern Colorado? I choose Northern Colorado because I fell in love with the campus and my future team. I really enjoyed the recruiting process with the coaching staff. They made if fun and exciting. Also, a change in climate will be unique and fun! It will take me awhile to get use to the altitude, but I can't wait!
4) How is your senior year going and what are your goals for you and your team this year? My senior year so far is going great! My volleyball team just got 3rd in state after not making it past the section finals in 11 years. It was a great way to end my volleyball career and it just sparks the energy to do the same thing in basketball. I have been on the Varsity Basketball team since 8th grade and I still haven't made it to state since I have been here. We have a good chance of making it, but that is our main team goal this year. My personal goal is to break the schools scoring record. I scored my 1,000 point at the end of my junior year. I also would like to make the All-State Team this year.

Kirsten Hess

1) Do you have a game day ritual? I always do a specific stretching routine before every game

2) Something fun or unique about you that you want Bear fans to know about you? I am Hawaiian

3) Why did you choose Northern Colorado? The Coaches are great, the girls on the team are really fun and easy to get along with, its close to home, and I feel like Northern Colorado is the place for me.

4) How is your senior year going and what are your goals for you and your team this year? The goals for the Mullen girls basketball team this year are to be the Centennial League Champions again and to win the state championship. I do believe that this year we will be able to achieve this goal.

Shout-Out: Courtney Kranz

Hi everyone! Wow, this year has been going by so fast. I can’t believe we’re already preparing for finals. I’m a Political Science and Business-Finance major, and my class schedule has kept me pretty busy. Classes are going well especially now that midterms are out of the way. For Halloween this year the Residence Halls put on a program where kids from the neighborhood could come trick-or-treat in a safe environment in the dorms, and Kaisha, Lauren, Victoria, and I decided to dress up and pass out candy to the kids. Also, our first game in the WNIT is coming up Friday November 13, and I know that we are all getting excited. Everybody is ready to show how hard we worked during preseason and start playing. Physical therapy has been going well for me. I’ve been getting into some more drills at practice and in the weight room. I’m hoping to be back playing soon. While it has been a really fun fall, I’m certainly looking forward to the season!
