Following a thwomping of IU Northwest from DePaul’s men’s team, the women’s team followed suit with a 128-77 win over the Saint Xavier Cougars on Nov. 5. After the starters for the Cougars where announced to the tune of the Star Wars empire theme, DePaul’s starters came running out as red and blue circles flew around the arena floor: Kelly Campbell, Mart’e Greys, Ashton Millender and Tonita Allen. After the game, head coach Doug Bruno would say this will probably be the starting lineup for the first game, but nothing is guaranteed.
Early in the game, a DePaul miscommunication on how to cover a screen lead to a wide open layup for Saint Xavier’s Brittany Collins.
