OUA West Team Previews
At first glance, if there is any team in the OUA West who can run Windsor close this year, it will be Western, but the question is how? Or more specifically how, without Amanda? For the first time in his tenure, head coach Steph Barrie will be competing in the tough OUA West without Amanda Anderson (Dover Centre, ON). The 2010 OUA West MVP was a significant reason for Mustang success during here five years in London, along with Bess Lennox (Ottawa, ON) and Lauren Parks (London,ON). The presence of Parks and Anderson last year opened up opportunities for players like Katelyn Leddy (London, ON) to shine, but this year Leddy and fellow third year Rebecca Moss (Waterloo, ON) may have to produce against opponent‘s higher-order defenders. Leddy shot an impressive 53% during the 2009/10 campaign and also led the Mustangs with 6.6 rpg while Anderson was at times sublime with a 41% average from behind the arc and 18.5 ppg in 33.7 minutes of play. Western finished the regular season at 17-5 with four of the losses coming in the OUA West, only one of which was at home (to Windsor). In the West semifinals they dominated Lakehead 84-58, reversing a regular-season closing loss (51-84) to the Thunderwolves in Thunder Bay. Unfortunately for Western, it was one-and-done yet again in the playoffs as Page 72
