Newcomers dominate YSU women's basketball roster
For the Youngstown State women’s basketball team, changing the roster has helped change the culture.
Just six of the 14 players from last year’s team remain, but senior Heidi Schlegel said it’s been the best offseason of her five-year career.
“The whole culture has changed,” said Schlegel, who averaged 20 points and eight rebounds last season to earn first team all-conference honors. “We hang out more on and off the court and it’s a lot more enjoyable.”
Seven of the 13 players on YSU’s roster are true freshmen — no other team in Ohio or in the Horizon League has that many — and Schlegel is one of just two players (junior guard Ashley Lawson is the other) who appeared in at least one game for the previous coach, Bob Boldon, who left for Ohio after the 2012-13 season.
