Departing seniors: 5

Today's installment takes a look at the two-time defending A-10 champs, the Xavier Musketeers.

SG Dani Statuto - Listed at 5'6", she finished in 2nd place in scoring at Con-Val HS in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Recruited primarily as a point guard, Statuto earned 1st-team All-State honors in New Hampshire in her junior and senior seasons. And much like past Xavier recruits under Coach Balcomb, she has 3-point range.

G Ashleigh Cuncic - Listed at 5'10", she averaged 20 PPG, 4 RPG, and 8 RPG as a junior at St. Mary's HS in Carlisle, Ontario (Canada). She was MVP on a team that had won OFSAA championships in 1998 and 1999. According to Coach Balcomb's assessment, she also has 3-point range and great defensive skills.

SG/3G Nikki Wells - Listed at 5'10", she averaged 12.7 PPG, 9.2 RPG, and 3 steals per game as a junior at Garfield HS in Woodbridge, Virginia. She was on her All-District, Area, and Region teams as a junior, as well as an honorable mention Street and Smith's All-American going into her senior year. She played mostly inside during her HS career.

SG Kim Neidermayer - Listed at 6'0", she averaged 17.8 PPG and 10 RPG as a junior at Eastlake North HS in Cleveland, Ohio. She won 1st-team honors from the Premier Athletic Conference and The Plain Dealer (the Cleveland newspaper), as well as Honorable Mention All-Ohio honors. Balcomb lists her outside shooting and passing as Kim's top assets.

SF Alexis Henderson - Listed at 6'0", she averaged 16.7 PPG and 10.6 RPG as a junior at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware. She was 1st-team in her conference and 2nd-team All-Delaware that season as well. She was recruited for her post moves and, yes, 3-point shooting as well.

With 5 seniors having graduated from the program, Xavier heavily recruited players that will fit into a 3-guard offense. Although none of the players are currently above 6'0", they all have outside shooting, speed, and good defensive abilities, which are elements that have become trademarks of Xavier teams in the past 4 years. Although Xavier has only one senior (Shavon Bell) for this season, they'll be wise to begin grooming a PG for the future, since Xavier will have 3 juniors on the roster for 2001-2002.

- If you are talking about Hawkins, she is not listed on the official roster (see below). -- DAve, 11:31:40 08/09/01 Thu
