St. Francis (NY)

2006-07 Overall Record: 13-18
2006-07 NEC Record/Finish: 7-11/8th
2006-07 NEC Tournament Result: Lost in Semifinal, 77-68, to Robert Morris

The Terriers and head coach Brenda Milano have to be optimistic about the new season after last year’s finish.  St. Francis (NY) ended a seven-year NEC Tournament drought by grabbing the eight and final spot, but did not stop there.  SFNY upset top-seeded LIU by 10 points to move into the semifinal.  With the top three scorers returning, there may be more big wins to come.  Senior guards Tiffany Hill (Orange, NJ/Orange) and Kara Ayers (Galloway, NJ/Absegami) are a dangerous backcourt duo having averaged 14.6 ppg and 11.8 ppg, respectively, last year.  Making the Terriers even more difficult to defend is the league’s tallest player 6-8 center Katja Bavendam (Hamburg, Germany/Osterholz-Scharmbeck).  An all-NEC selection, Bavendam nearly averaged a double-double with 14.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.  She was also a force on the defensive end, effectively utilizing her size to block a league-best 98 shots (3.16/gm), which ranked her amongst the nation’s top ten shot-blockers.  It should not be a surprise to see that block total increase this season, especially with one of the WNBA’s all-time blocks leaders Sue Wicks on Milano’s staff.
