*Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference Game
Cyclones defend conference title for
the second straight season
Moraine Valley’s women’s basketball team celebrated another successful season as
Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference Champs. The Cyclones are back-to-back
champions winning with a final conference record of 13-1, identical to the
2006-2007 season.
The team ended its season with a 24-8 overall record, which was the second best
record in Division II, Region IV, and the third best record in the entire
region, which includes Divisions I, II and III. The lady hoopsters made it
through playoffs and advanced to, but lost in the Region IV semi-finals.
“We had a very good season from start to finish,” said head coach Delwyn Jones.
“Anytime you finish 24-8, you’ve had a good season. We won the conference title
for the third time in the last five years. For the first time I was able to play
13 players on a regular basis. That means the whole team contributed in some way
to our success.”
On average the athletes scored 66 points per game and gave up only 53.2 points
to the opposition. Moraine Valley’s leading scorer in the conference was veteran
guard Laura Metzger (5’9”/Shepard), who averaged 10.8 points per game.
First-year forward Kaitlyn Clemens (5’10”/Oak Lawn) led the Cyclones in rebounds
with 5.3 per game. Freshman guard/forward Julie Tracy (5’8”/Oak Lawn) broke a
Moraine Valley school record shooting 50 percent, 31 for 61, from the
three-point line in conference play.
Metzger and Tracy were both selected to the All-Conference First Team while
guard Karina Estrada (5’5”/Reavis), guard/forward Shana Creighton (5’8”/Oak
Lawn) and center Jessica Polacek (6’2”/Reavis) made the Second Team. Tracy was
also selected to the All-Region IV Second Team. Jones was named Conference Coach
of the Year for the second straight year and third time in his coaching career
at Moraine.
Individual players also received team awards. Metzger was the MVP; Tracy was
chosen Offensive Player of the Year; Metzger and guard LaTanya Howell
(5’8”/Queen of Peace) were named Defensive Players of the Year; Creighton was
given the All Heart Award; and Estrada earned the Coach’s Award.
