Xavier Team Capsule
Posted: Wed March 14, 2001 at 8:55 a.m EST Coach: Melanie Balcomb (6th year) Nickname: Lady Musketeers Record and conference: 28-2, Atlantic 10 Seed, Region and Bid: 4, Mideast, Automatic Previous NCAA Tournament Bids: 3 NCAA Tournament Record: 1-3 Final Four Appearances: None NCAA Tournament Championship: None Best NCAA Tournament Finish: Second Round Last NCAA Appearance: 2000, lost to Stephen F. Austin, 73-72, First Round Starters: F - Nicole Levandusky (5-9, Sr., 15.2 ppg, 5.1 rpg) F - Jennifer Phillips (6-3, Sr., 16.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg) C - Taru Tuukkanen (6-3, Sr., 19.7 ppg, 8.5 rpg) G - Jennifer Parr (5-8, Sr., 6.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg) G - Reetta Piipari (5-7, So., 11.2 ppg, 8.5 apg) Outlook: Xavier is without a doubt one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament. Reetta Piipari runs the offense to near perfection, Jennifer Phillips was the A-10 Player of the Year and Nicole Levandusky is a dangerous shooter. They are too good to get knocked out early and good enough to make it out of the Midwest Region, which has Iowa, Iowa State and Tennessee.© 2003 SportsTicker Enterprises, LP
