Season Preview 

The Lady Cavaliers return to the hardwood intent on making another strong appearance at the Region IV Tournament.

The team which finished fourth at the 2010 NJCAA Division II National Tournament has nine new players. Success will depend on growth and leadership.

Coach Donnie Denson will ask the new freshmen to step up and make their presence felt on the offensive and defensive ends. The seven sophomores will be expected to lead by example and continue the hardnosed style of play that earned a final record of 31-4 last season.

The 2010-11 schedule has the Cavs facing off against McHenry County College, South Suburban College and Moraine Valley in Region IV Division II. The Lady Cavs also will return to the Cougar Holiday Tournament. The schedule also takes the Cavaliers out of Region IV, as they play Kalamazoo Valley,  Illinois Central College and Parkland College.

The Lady Cavaliers expect to face several nationally ranked teams. A good recruiting year for other teams also may produce challenges for the squad.

The 2010-11 schedule includes five contests against Division I opponents and 25 with Division II teams. It should give the Lady Cavaliers the preparation necessary to complete for the regional championship crown.
