Courtney Moses and April Wilson battle for a
loose ball in the Georgia Tech game. Purdue has
been scrappy in the early going, and Wilson has
been steady despite it being her rookie season.
The ���Gold and Black Sound��� women���s basketball pep band has been
wearing ���Team Terry��� shirts for much of the conference season, lending
support to director of basketball operations Terry Kix. During the Iowa
game, the Play4Kay event brought out pink shirts throughout Mackey
Arena and photos of Kix. ���Terry is a part of our family, music and
sports,��� GABS director Pamela Nave said. ���We wanted her to know that
we are here for her and that we love her.��� For more on Kix���s battle with
stomach cancer, see Page 54.
Never one to back down from contact, despite the fact she has played with
a shoulder injury much of the Big Ten season, Sam Ostarello has been a
double-double machine in scoring and rebounding for much of the conference
slate. Ostarello, a 6-foot-2 senior, entered the final week of the season leading
the league in rebounding (10.0). Purdue hasn���t had a player lead the conference in that category since Joy Holmes did it in 1990-91.
