Senior Jade Jones has been the only constant starting 13 out of the last 14 contest.

2006-07 MEAC LEADERS LESLIE SEEING AN INCREASE Sophomore guard Sharella Leslie is steadily making her mark as a top Scoring reserve for the Lady Pirates. Leslie proved as such by coming off the Amber Bland, NCAT-19.4 bench against UAB to tally a career-high nine points in 14 minutes of Rashida Suber, CSU-17.1 play going 2-4 from the field and connecting four of five free-throws. Shannon Carlisle, HOW-15.5 Also seeing a significant increase in playing time seeing a career-high Ta’wuana Cook, NCAT-14.0 17 minutes versus Bethune-Cookman.

2006-07 Hampton Women’s Basketball - Page 6 BUTLER NAMED PRESEASON ALL-MEAC: Junior guard Rachel Butler the only player from Hampton named to the MEAC Preseason team, earning first team honors after being named second team All-MEAC a year ago.

GUARD PLAY: The Lady Pirates now have enough guards to control the perimeter to compliment their strong presence inside. Guard play will now be solidified this season becasue the Lady Pirates have enough guards on this year’s roster and all of them like to play with and without the ball which is a true HU Women’s Basketball philosphy of defense making offense.

DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS: A strong backcourt has been a permanent staple of the Lady Pirates’ program since it began in 1975. Guards have always been a key part of the Hampton changing offense from three-point areas and in the paint. This year’s back court surge headed by the Texas twosome of Artavia Burns and Rachel Butler. Burns was the number two point guard coming out of junior college last season, while Butler was the 2004-05 Rookie of the Year as well as a 06-07 Preseason all conference selection. With these accolades the competition may want to think twice before steppin onto the backcourt. Burns in just her first season with the Lady Pirates program is already the teams scoring leader averaging 11.4 points per game, while Butler is second the team in scoring at 11.3 points per game. MEAC PRESEASON PICKS

The Lady Pirates have a number of outside shooters that 5. ______South Carolina State University can pour in points.

If she can maintain the pace, Johnson’s physical play should go a long way in helping Hampton succeed. Also not to go unnoticed is senior 2006-07 MEAC Preseason Team Jade Jones who has started every game thus far this season for Hampton avergaing just over five boards per game. 2006-07 MEAC Preseason (FIRST TEAM) HILL PROVES CLUTCH FOR THE LADY PIRATES: Hill has played an Rashida Suber, Coppin State intricate role in the HU offense this season. Since being added to the Lady Raquel Collier, Delaware State Pirate starting rotation Hill has been averging just over eight points per Rachel Butler, Hampton contest. Including her breakthrough performace at Norfolk State where she Melloni Benson, Howard took the game over after noticing her teams struggling offense and Kristi Veltkamp, UMES scortched the Spartans with 19 points. Although she is the only freshman on the Lady Pirates squad, guard Whitney Hill is no stranger to Hampton. 2006-07 MEAC Preseason Whitney spent her high school career playing for the Lady Phantoms of (SECOND TEAM) nearby Phoebus High School. Also her mother and sister are both Hamp- Shalamar Oakley, Coppin State ton alumna. Hill is an explosive guard that can play the 1,2 or 3...arguably Katreem Palmer, Delaware State the best guard to come out of the Tidewater area last year.
