Saints won seven of their first nine games in 1995, on their way to a 15-11 finish. Gina Castelli had just led the Siena College women’s basketball pro- gram to their best two-year stretch since moving to Division I in 1983. After two average seasons, the 1997-98 campaign would mark a return to glory for Castelli’s Saints. The women ran off 17 straight victories, compiling a conference-best 16-2 record and a 20-8 overall mark. For the third time in her career, Castelli’s leadership would earn her MAAC Coach of the Year honors. In 1998-99, the mentor led the Saints to one of the top seasons in school history. Siena finished with a 22-9 overall record, and for the second consecutive season, won the MAAC regular-season crown. In recognition of their accomplishment, the Saints received an invitation to participate in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament where they advanced to the Sweet 16. Following the season, Castelli was recognized as the New York State Coach of the Year for the second time. In her 13 seasons at Siena College, Castelli has coached 28 All-MAAC selections, including 12 first-team selections. She has also mentored 14 All-MAAC Academic picks as well as three MAAC Rookies of the Year: Liz Lops in 1991, Melanie Halker in 1996 and, most recently, Liene Jansone in 2001. She has also coached one GTE District II All-American and five players who have been voted MAAC Player of the Year.

Woodbury serves as the Saints’ recruiting coordinator, as well as assisting with scouting, game coaching and game preparation. Woodbury brings enthusiasm and a tireless work ethic to the program, and it is those attributes that have helped put women’s basketball at Siena College on the national map. Woodbury was key in the expansion of the Siena College women’s basketball camps to a current combined enroll- ment of over 900, as well as helping to found the program’s youth group “The Little Saints.” Working with Siena’s talented pool of post players, Woodbury has developed a number of All-League performers in her thirteen seasons in Loudonville. Most recently, Woodbury helped Gunta Basko become the first player to be twice-named Kodak District 2 All-American and Liene Jansone earn MAAC Player of the Year honors as a junior. In the 2001-02 season, Basko became just the third player to be named MAAC Player of the Year twice. She joins the likes of two-time winner Melanie Halker and Liz Lops, as players who fine tuned their skills under the direct instruction of Woodbury. Each of those three players was also named the MAAC Rookie of the Year, as was Jansone, who won the award three seasons ago and was named MAAC Sixth Player of the Year as a sophomore. Woodbury came to Loudonville from New Hampshire College where she served as an assistant coach for two seasons from 1988-90. There she helped lead the 1989-90 team to the New England Collegiate Conference champion- ship and an NCAA Regional appearance.

Siena College Women’s Basketball 2003-2004 61 SaintsSaintsIn the Community

One of the main objectives of the Siena athletic department has always been to remain actively involved in the Capital Region community. In the past six years, Siena student-athletes have made countless appearances in local class- rooms and hospitals, and the department has donated close to $10,000 each year in game tickets, sports camps scholarships, and sporting apparel to area charities. For over 20 years, the Siena College women’s basketball team has led the way in this initiative, remaining actively involved off the court, while bringing some of the most exciting and memo- rable sporting events to the Albany area. “Our team has been widely involved in the surround- ing community through numerous programs that allow our players to come in contact with many of the people who have made Siena Basketball so special,” Head Coach Gina Castelli said. “Going out into the community and getting to meet young fans who see our players as role models gives our team a sense of satisfaction when they step off the court.” WNBA Superstar Sue Bird addressed the Saints in the lockeroom before the game versus Saint Peter’s.
