Closing last year's season with a bitter loss to league rival Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Athenas, the University of La Verne women's basketball team is now looking towards an interesting 1996-97 season.
Women’s basketball ended when the last basket was thrown. The court has been swept, cleaned and a new sport has come to season. But for the determined and self-motivated senior Leslee Rogers, the game is never over.
Senior Leslee Rogers was named to the Kodak Division III Women’s All-American Basketball Team, making her the first player from the University of La Verne to ever receive the honor.
The Leopards looked to have the NCAA Division III playoff game wrapped up, leading by five points with 47 seconds left, when a technical foul was called on junior Kelly Perkins.
The University of La Verne women’s basketball team plays the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Athenas tonight, in a game that will have a big impact on the standings in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC).
