The 6 footer from Conyers, Ga., who led Carolina last season in scoring, rebounding and steals, was named All-SEC. “It certainly is nice to have Jocelyn, our top scorer and rebounder, back for anoth er season,” Walvius said. “Jocelyn worked hard over the summer to improve her perimeter game and has desires of playing in the WNBA next summer.” waivius is looking to Penn and junior guard Kelly Morrone for leadership. “If I could point to one reason that we had success, it was the maturity of our leadership in those two individuals,” Waivius said about last season. Morrone will also be asked to provide outside scoring — she hit eight of nine 3 pointers against Duke earlier in the season — and depth at point guard behind Ciocan. Ciocan, a native of Bucharest, Romania, had a breakthrough season last year, fin ishing second in the SEC in assists (6.2). “We are experienced at point guard,” Waivius said. “And for any team to be good, you have to have great communica tion. You have to have an experienced point guard.” Ujhelyi, known for her defensive tough ness inside, has impressed Walvius lately for other reasons. “Petra looks very good offensively,” Walvius said. “You’ll see her doing more scoring this year.” Despite all the talent returning, both in side and outside, Walvius insists that her new recruits — forward Kasia Roszak and guards Koretha Johnson and Sarah . Burgess — are critical to the team’s suc cess. “This year, our success will be based upon how quickly our newcomers devel op and how early they can impact our team,” she said. The Gamecocks will open their new sea son Friday against Clemson. The game will be the first-ever sporting event at the Carolina Center. Walvius hopes it will be the start of an other great year. “Last season was one of those memo rable, exciting years that you build on,” she said. “It was a year of many firsts for our basketball team, and we’ll use those experiences to shoot for more this year. ” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecocksports@hotmail.com ■Women's Basketball B Fri Nov 22 7pm Clemson ■B Sun Nov 24 5:30pm Col, of Charleston BBS Paradise Jam (Virgin iidands) SB Thu Nov 28 7:30pm OregSh^ SB Sat Nov 30 3pm Boston Co%ge BBB Tue Dee 3 7pm Georgia Southern Mon Dec 16 5:30pm Middle Tenn.
