CLINTON,
S.C. — The Presbyterian College men’s and women’s
basketball teams opened preparations for the 2003-04 season
with the start of preseason practice today.
The men’s and women’s
teams opened preseason with last night’s “Midnight
Madness” festivities. Both teams continued preseason
practice this afternoon with their first practice session. The
teams worked on basic skill work, shooting, and conditioning.
Practice continues tomorrow with the first day of two-a-days.
PC head coach Leigh Irwin
begins her 2nd season at the helm of the Blue Hose women’s
basketball program. Coach Irwin welcomes back nine
letterwinners and four starters from last year’s team which
posted a 12-15 record and finished tied for third for the
South Atlantic Conference regular season race. “The coaching
staff and the team are very excited to get started with
preseason practice,” said Irwin. “We will rely on the
leadership and experience of our returning senior backcourt
and this year’s co-captains, Billie
Haskins and Bonnie
Werner, to help this year’s freshmen class through the
rigors of preseason.”
The Blue Hose open the
2003-04 season with an exhibition game at home versus the Low

finished fourth in the SAC regular season, runner-up for the
Food Lion/SAC Tournament, and advanced to the “Sweet 16”
of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.
“We are very excited about getting started with
preseason,” said Nibert. “We have a very young team this
season, but strong senior leadership from our two captains in Willie
Brown and Andrew
Dellinger to lead the way.”
