Seven veterans and a group of
promising freshmen could make
the goals of USC's women
basketball team reachable this
season.
"Realistically, we feel we could
place as high as number three in
the Regionals," said second-year
coach Pam Backhaus. "Honestly
we are trying to be the third best
team because if we play well
enough to be number three, then
we should be able to play well
enough to be number one."
In order to advance to the
