2007-08 OUTLOOK By Matt Schill, Publications Editor Big changes may be afoot for the University of North Dakota athletic department as the school transitions to the NCAA Division I level, but you may not know it by looking at the women’s basketball team. It’s business as usual for the Fighting Sioux – success. Head coach Gene Roebuck, who has the highest winning percentage in Division II women’s basketball history, enters his 21st season at UND. The Fighting Sioux are coming off of their 11th North Central Conference championship, a North Central Region title, an Elite Eight appearance and are ranked No. 1 in the 2007-08 national preseason polls. Business as usual. Roebuck said UND has a solid group of returning players and class of newcomers that will maintain the tradition of Fighting Sioux basketball. “I look forward to watching our team grow throughout the season,” Roebuck said. “We have a solid nucleus coming back of players who played a big part of our success last season. We expect to be successful every season.” 12 UND returns nine letterwinners, who Roebuck says have worked hard during the offseason. “We had a great offseason in the weight room, preparing for this season,” Roebuck said. “Hard work in the offseason makes the difference. Everyone chose to stay and work out together this past summer. By that, they have developed the team chemistry needed to be successful.” The Sioux add four freshmen, who Roebucks says are great fits for the team’s needs both now and in the long run. “Our incoming freshmen are very athletic,” Roebuck said. “In time, they will be a vital part of our program.” POSTS On of the strongest parts of UND’s game this season will be at the post positions. The Sioux return four centers and power forwards that are athletic both inside and out. Senior Ashley Langen leads the way. Langen, a three-time All-NCC selection, averaged 14.4 points and 8.5 rebounds last season. “Ashley is our captain and is a force to be reckoned with inside,” Roebuck said. “She works extremely hard and has the skills to score inside and out.” On the other side will be junior Kierah Kimbrough, a second-team All-America selection and four-time NCC Player of the Week last year. Kimbrough led the Sioux in scoring last year with 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, and Roebuck expects her offensive and defensive game to improve. “Kierah will continue to get better on the offensive end,” Roebuck said. “A shot blocker along with scoring, she will work to become a force on the defensive end.” Kierah Kimbrough Whitney Ledger, a medical redshirt last year, is also expected to play a role at the power forward and post position. “She competes hard on every play and will see extensive playing time at the power forward position,” Roebuck said. Fifth-year senior Val Sannes rounds out the talented group, coming off of a personal breakout season. “Val gives us experience at the post and leadership on the court,” Roebuck said.
