Wednesday, October 14, 2009
St. Cloud, Minn. – The 2009-10 St. Cloud State University men’s and women’s basketball seasons officially get underway Thursday afternoon, Oct. 15. That’s when the Husky coaching staffs and players hit the court in preparation for the new season.
The Husky men will practice from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., followed by the women from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in Halenbeck Hall.
Here’s a quick look at the coach and team for 2009-10:
The Women: St. Cloud State head coach Lori Fish (South Dakota State) opens her second season with the Huskies. Last year, Fish guided St. Cloud State to a 22-9 overall record, won the 2009 NSIC/Sanford Health Postseason Tournament, and advanced to the NCAA Division II North Central Region Tournament. In five years as a collegiate head coach, Fish has compiled an 84-62 overall record. The 2009-10 Huskies have nine first year players on the squad and four sophomores that make up the majority of the team. St. Cloud State returns one starter from a year ago in junior guard Talisha Barlow (Little Canada). Barlow averaged 15.4 points per game in her sophomore campaign. She was named to the All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Second Team and the NSIC/Sanford Health All-Tournament team. Barlow started all 31 games during the season and has a 59-game starting streak. She has scored 785 points in her career. Sophomore forward Aaryn Booker (Minneapolis) played in all 31 games last season and averaged 4.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. St. Cloud State will open the season on Sunday, Nov. 15 in a non-conference tilt against the University of Wisconsin-Stout at 2:00 p.m.
