BACK In Blcmiounl julie Swarm—Beitkman it one of the key returnees
among the Lady KatJ’ group of experienced guards.

lllt relying on need to
guide talented guards

By Jason Dattilo

Assistant Spam Editor

Almost every great basketball
team in history has had one thing
in common — solid play from the
backcourt.

This year’s Lady Kat squad
has this key ingredient in the
form of senior Stacey Reed,
juniors Christina Jansen and Julie
Swarens—Beickman and sopho-
more Chrissy Roberts.

Reed averaged 18.2 points last
season to lead the team.

While Jansen is not a proliﬁc
scorer, the junior from Louisville
Mercy en 'neers the Kats’ offen-
sive attacElfrom her point guard
position.

“CJ is doing a much better job
at penetrating and hitting the
open person this season,” UK
head coach Sharon Fanning said.

When pieced together with
three-point specialists Roberts
and Swarens-Beickman, the
dynamic Lady Kat backcourt is
one of the best in the SEC.

“We feel like we have eat
balance,” said Fanning, w o is
beginning her eighth season at
Lady Kat helm. “I think we just
need to get a little bit more conﬁ-
dence and et used to playing
with each ot er.”

Althou h the UK backcourt
has earnef a combined eight var-
sity letters, the inﬂux of untested
talent could create execution
problems for the team, Fanning
said.

Finding someone to step up
and score when Reed is not in the
Lad Kat backcourt poses anoth—
er ilemma for the UK coach.
The other UK guards, ——Jansen,

Swarens-Beickman and Roberts
~— only averaged a combined
14.4 points a year ago.

“What we’re going to have to
do is learn to execute as a team
when Stacey is not in the game
for us,” Fanning said. “I think by
January this could be a really
consistent basketball team.”

In a quest to gain some much-
needed experience, two Lady Kat
guards competed for USA
national teams last summer.

Reed played for the USA
Select Team, which won a gold
medal, while Roberts competed
in the US. Olympic Festival and
also brought home gold for the
summer’s work.

“I think just the experience
was tremendous and should carry
over into this season,” Fanning
said. “It should give them a lot of
conﬁdence.”

Another adjustment the UK
backcourt will be forced to make
involves Swarens-Beickman. The
junior from Ramsey, Ind., said
playing 20 or 30 minutes per
contest will be a big change.
Swarens-Beickman averaged only

7.5 minutes a game on the 1993- 4

94 campaign.

“More time on the court will
give me more opportunities,”
Swarens-Beickman said. “Being a
junior, I have to be more of a
leader this year.”

Fanning said Swarens-Beick-
man possesses the work ethic
necessary to elevate her play to
the next level.

“Julie is a real competitor and
a student of the game,” Fanning
added. “You’re not going to ﬁnd
anyone who will play any harder
for you.”

Senior Staﬂ” Writer

In the past three seasons, the
UK women’s basketball accom-
plishments have not been particu-
arl impressive.

K1 that span, the team has post-
ed a combined record of 51-35
and failed to snag a berth in the
NCAA Tournament, all the while
wallowing in or near the South-
eastern Conference cellar.

This season, though, the Cats
are determined for a different
outcome, and they just might
have the blend of talent and
chemistry to make it happen.

“Our goals this season are to
ﬁnish fourth in the SEC and make
the (NCAA) tournament,” UK
coach Sharon Fanning said.

If the Kats are to achieve those
lofty goals, they will have to
improve on the 17-11 mark the

the team. We antici ate her
offense to go to the next evel.”

But, despite the backcourt’s
obvious strength, Fanning doesn’t
see UK as a perimeter-oriented
squad. Because of a barrage of tal-
ented swing players and an inﬂux
of frontcourt youth, the coach is
expecting a balanced inside-out-
si e attack.

But, Fanning knows the key
lies in the hands of a outhful
albeit promising group 0 players.

The squad lost some mar uee
inside talent last season including
forward Tedra Eberhart, who
averaged 16.2 points an outing in
her senior season; forward/center
Christie Jordan who contributed
7.3 points a game; and centerJen-
nifer Gray, who pitched in 6.1
points a game.

But, just as that trio prepared
to leave the hardcourt, Fanning
pulled off a recruiting coup, reel-

It’s a task that won’t be easy, as
the squad competes in arguably
the nation’s toughest women’s
hoops league, but it’s a task that
the Kats are conﬁdent they can
successfully fulﬁll.

Leading the UK charge this
season is senior guard/forward
Stacey Reed, a preseason All-SEC
selection, who led the team in
scoring (18.2 ppg) and rebound—
ing (6.8 rpg) last season.

She is the nucleus of a back-
court that ranks among the con-
ference’s ﬁnest. Joining her in this
area, the squad’s unquestioned
strength, is a myriad of inter-
changeable talent.

Junior Christina Jansen, a
defensive ﬁrecracker for the team
last season, returns to her starting
point guard slot, after averaging
7.6 points and 2.3 assists a year
ago.

“Christina’s conﬁdence, execu-
tion, and leadership on the floor
developed tremendously as a
sophomore,” Fanning said. “She

Denkins and Toledo, Ohio native

Shaunda Roberts.

Peterson and Roberts, a pair of
versatile swing players, come to
Lexington following star-studded
prep careers.

Peterson averaged over 26
points a game in her senior cam-
paign, while Roberts contributed
21 an outing. Fanning is expect-
ing both to make an impact
almost immediately.

Jackson, a 6-2 forward, and
Denkins, a 6-3 center, should add
some much needed bulk inside.
Both dominated the paint in high
school, earning ﬁrst-team all—state
honors, while averaging 14 and 21
points a night respectively.

The only proven players that
the Lady Kats return inside are 6—
4 senior center Karri Koach and
5—8 forward Stephanie Baker.
Fanning was impressed with the

aged just over six points a game.
Baker, who originally joined
the rogram as a walk—on, should

A pair of sophomore centers,

expected to provide some extra

depth in the middle.

Fanning said the junior and
senior classes are excellent men—

she is hopeful their teachings can
translate into consistency and
intensity for the entire team, two
attributes that she said usually
