2008-2009 Women's Basketball Team

The 2008-2009 Season

The 2007-08 Cochise College Lady Apaches ended the year with a NJCAA Region I playoffs overtime loss to rival Yavapai Community College. The Apaches completed a very tough regular season schedule with a record of 19-11 and their fourth consecutive trip to the NJCAA regional playoffs. The 2007-2008 team was also selected and recognized as one of the Academic All-American teams in the NJCAA.

Coach Steve Lane has 12 years of experience as the head coach for the Cochise College women’s basketball team. The Apaches have been in the NJCAA regional playoffs five of the past six seasons.  Assistant Coach Rebecca Pickett is currently in her 11th season with the Apaches. She graduated from Buena High School in Sierra Vista and attended Ottawa University, where she was selected to the all-conference women’s basketball team.      

This year the team has to replace team co-captains Ashley Jackson and Erin Murphy. Jackson was All-ACCAC and All-Region 1 last season, and Murphy was selected as a NJCAA Distinguished Academic All-American. Murphy moves on to play this season at Grand Canyon University in the Pacific West Conference.

There are three sophomores returning to the roster, including Simone Buckhanan who was named to the third team all-conference last season. The return of guard Selena Florez will be a bright spot in the team, along with the return of 6-1 post Egle Karolyte.

The Lady Apaches are looking forward to the 2008-2009 campaign and aims to use the leadership of past players and the talent of new ones to earn a fifth straight trip to the NJCAA regional playoffs. A solid core of sophomore leadership on the court and in the classroom will be of great benefit to our nine talented freshmen. Hopefully, we can continue our success and remain a part of the NJCAA playoff picture this year and continue to push for all-American honors in 2009! Go Apaches!
