The Colonels will be hard pressed to duplicate last year's second place finish ( 10-4) in the Ohio Valley Conference fo llowing t he departure of EK U's all-time leading scorer Lisa Goodin, a four-year starter who has graduated. Murphy will look to Cottle for scoring and rebounding, and also for leadership as the Miami, Fla., native looks t o close out her college career in fine fashion. The 6-1, 160-lb. pivot player led Eastern in rebounding last year with 9.5 grabs and finished second in scoring behind Goodin with a 15.2 average. Last year was Cattle's first in a Colonel uniform after playing at Austin Peay and then at Miami Dade-South Community College where she earned Junior College All-American honors in 1981-82. Also returning will be seniors Shannon Brady and Marcia Haney along with Margy Shelton, a junior. Brady, a 6-1 forward-post player, was a regular last season finishing with a 9.6 scoring average and 6.1 rebound per game. Shelton, a 6-0 forward, also saw considerable action as a starter and averaged 6.9 points and 5.3 rebounds. Haney, 5-11, was one of Murphy's more reliable players off the bench at a forward position. She chipped in with 5.6 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. Also returning for their sophomore seasons are Van M arshel and Lois Buntyn. Murphy along with assistant coaches Nell Hensley and Linda Myers inked seven talented recruits t hat are expected t o provide immediate help. At the top of t he list is transfer Angela Fletcher, a 5-9 junior guard, who dazzled o pponents while at Roane State Community College enroute to JUCO AllAmerican honors. Murphy will also get help at guard from Heidi Gast, a 5-5 freshman, who averaged 23.2 points per game during her career at Danbury High School in Lakeside, 0, a nd 5-7 fres hman Sondra Miller, Kentucky's prep scoring leader at M .C. Napier High School with a 28-point aver~ge. Other newcomers are Carla Coffey, a 6-0 freshman forward-post player from Bullitt Central High School, 5- 10 freshman forward Tracey Underwood fro m Lexington Lafayette High School, J ulie Levis, a 5-8 guard from Oldham County, and Lisa Harvey, a 6-3 center from Silver S pring , MD. Murphy has lined up an attractive 27-game schedule which includes an appea ra nce in the Lady Sunshine Classic in Orland o, Fla. , N ov. 23-24, which is comprised of Auburn, A rkansas, Mia mi (Fla.), and EK U. EK U will also host its annual Colonel Classic, Dec. 7-8, with Western Kentucky, Kent State and Duquesne providing the opposition. In addition to the rugged 14-game round robin schedule, the Colonels will face nonconference foes Dayton, Southeast Missouri, Bellarmine, Evansville, Kentucky State, Cleveland State, and Davis and Elkins College. �The steady improvement of the Eastern Kentucky University women's basket ball pro gram over the past five years can be attributed to an intensive approach, sound recruiting tactics, and a commitment to hard work by head coach, Dr. Dianne Murphy. From being a team which could hardly gain respect in Kentucky, the Colonels are now regarded as one of the top programs in the state as well as considered one of the most competitive in the DR . DIANNE M U RPHY Ohio Valley Conference. As a coach and player, Murphy has been a success wherever she has been. She was a student-athlete at Tennessee Technological University and lettered on the volleyball, basketball, and tennis teams. She graduated from Tennessee Tech in Cookeville in 1972 with a B.S. degree in Health and Physical Education. She earned her Masters in the same field while working as a coaching graduate assistant in the Tech program in 1973, and completed her doctoral dissertation for a Ph.D. from Florida State University in 1980. Her coaching days started as the head basketball coach at Shorter College in Rome, Georgia where she coached the Hawkettes to 4-11, 20-8, and 13-11 seasons. From 1976-79, she was at the helm of the Florida State Lady Seminoles basketball program, and turned their program around with excellent recruiting and a sound coaching philosophy. Her first year at Florida State, Murphy was looking for a little respect around the state and produced a 11-12 record. The 1977-78 team finished second in the F AIA W State tournament with a 19-15 record while the 1978-79 edition of the Lady Seminoles captured the FAIA W state title and finished with a 19-14 record. In her five years at Eastern Kentucky University, Murphy has taken a team who was 5-24 prior to her arrival and produced seasons of 9-19, 16-14, 14-16, 14-13, and 17-11. Last year, Murphy's team notched wins over Duke, from the powerful A CC conference, Wisconsin of the Big IO conference and the University of Louisville from the Metro conference. The Colonels finished with a 10-4 record to tie Tennessee Tech for second place in the Ohio Valley Conference. Murphy has chaired numerous basketball committees and has been elected to Who's Who in American Women. She was selected by her colleagues as the 1980-81 Co-Coach of the Year in the Ohio Valley Conference. She is a frequent guest speaker at banquets and clinics and always generates enthusiasm and support for the Eastern Kentucky women's basketball program. Murphy has also been successful with summer basketball camps and has conducted coaching workshops and has published numerous articles on basketball.
