CHOWAN UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON PREVIEW

2014-15 The Chowan University women’s basketball team enters the upcoming season with high hopes and expectations. The Hawks look to build off a 12-16 overall record and 6-10 finish in CIAA play. After bowing out of the CIAA tournament in the first round with a 57-49 loss to Johnson C.

Courtni Williams returns to the hardcourt for the Blue and White after earning CIAA Rookie of the Year honors last season. Williams averaged 7.8 points per contest and 3.0 rebounds per game as a rookie. All-CIAA selection Alisha Mobley returns for her junior year after leading the Hawks with a team-high 13.3 points per game and 7.2 rebounds per contest.

Head Coach Patrick Mashuda enters his eleventh season at the helm of the women’s basketball program and is eager to see this year’s team come together. Mashuda welcomes two new assistants to his staff this year. Lauren Falohun, and Tamoria Holmes. Falohun enjoyed a four year career at the University of South Carolina under Hall of Fame Coach Dawn Staley. She brings with her experience as a three-year semi-professional player with the Women’s Universal Basketball Association (WUBA) and Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League. Holmes, a 2013 graduate of Howard University, was a two-year captain for the Bison and earned First Team All-MEAC honors in 2012. She was the leading scorer in

the conference (18.3 points per game) that same season. Chowan tips-off their season on November 15th and 16th when they travel to Millersville, Pennsylvania to take on Edinboro and Millersville. Interesting Facts about CU Women’s Basketball
