Siena Team Capsule

Posted: Wed March 14, 2001 at 8:55 a.m EST

Coach: Gina Castelli (11th year) Nickname: Saints

Record and conference: 24-5, Metro Atlantic Athletic Seed, Region and Bid: 11, Midwest, Automatic

NCAA Tournament Bids: None NCAA Tournament Record: 0-0 Final Four Appearances: None NCAA Tournament Championships: None Best NCAA Tournament Finish: -- Last NCAA Appearance: --

Starters: F - Gunta Basko (6-1, So., 16.6 ppg, 9.9 rpg) F - Liene Jansone (6-1, Fr., 13.8 ppg, 9.0 rpg) G - Sacha Baker (6-0, Sr., 13.4 ppg, 4.4 rpg) G - Erica Anderson (5-8, So., 10.1 ppg, 2.6 rpg) G - Mary McKissack (5-8, So., 6.4 ppn, 2.8 rpg.)

Outlook: Many see the Saints as a one-and-out team and that may be the case, but they are being sold short. Siena closed its regular season with 12 straight wins and steamrolled its opponents on the way to a MAAC title. They are a young team, but confidence is high and as an 11 seed, the Saints may find they can handle Colorado in the first round and move on.
