and we’re expecting right now for
Shaun to run the show for us.”
Walvius and the team will be
joined by new coaches Shell Robin
son raid Tammy Holder, both of whom
have plenty of experience to account
for the loss of Debbie Taylor and Tonya
Alleyne.
After a standout career at Texas,
Robinson comes to USC after stints
as an assistant coach at Texas A&M
and the Nashville Noise. Holder, a for
mer USC assistant coach, is coming
back idler coaching the University of
Richmond Lady Spiders and the Seat
tle Reign. Both have extensive expe
rience with women’s basketball and
will join third-year coach Jimmy De
Shazo on the bench.
USC will face another tough
schedule this year, traveling to Indi
ana to face the Lady Hoosiers and to
Clemson against the defending ACC
Champion Tigers. Also, the team will
play in the Wells Fargo Tournament
at Arizona State and play N.C. State.
The SEC schedule, meanwhile, is
no different from last year, with sev
en teams with 20 or more wins on the
schedule from last year. USC will have
to play Final Four team Georgia, Sweet
16 team LSU, WNIT Champions
Arkansas and Tennessee, who won 31
games last year after three straight
NCAA titles.
“We were a much better team last
year than our record reflected,”
Walvius said. “We’re faster, stronger,
and have the defense and the shoot
ers to make an impact this year.”
USC will begin its new campaign
Nov. 9 against the Russian National
Team in an exhibition game. The
match will be at 7 p.m. at the Caroli
na Coliseum.

the Tigers’ Ian Fuller scored late in the second half
