Women Win Another Title; Men Work In Progress
Programs mixed with experience, youth
Sandi Marcius was as responsible for the Boilermakers' late-season surge as maybe any player on
the roster. He averaged 6.8 points and 3.6 boards in
the team's last 11 games, but after the season chose
to play his final year of eligibility at another school.
He joined Anthony Johnson and Jacob Lawson as
players who will not be returning in 2013-14.
D.J. Byrd didn't end his Boilermaker career
with the kind of success he'd hoped. But he
still leaves Purdue as one of the winningest
players of all-time, having been part of 93
victories. He'll also leave West Lafayette
ranked sixth all-time in career three-point
field goals made.
Sam Ostarello blossomed into one of the best defensive players in
the Big Ten and was tabbed second-team All-Big Ten (media). She
led the league with 10.0 rebounds per game and finished her career
with a double-double (16 points, 12 rebounds) against Louisville in
the NCAAs.
