At the end of a tough season, Washington State women’s basketball coach Kamie Ethridge was ready turn the page.
However, her star player still wants to write a few more chapters.
Forward Borislava Hristova ended her junior season with a 19.9 scoring average and a big decision to make: return home and go pro, or spend a fifth year and help the Cougars get back to the NCAAs for the first time since their lone appearance in 1991.
“This team has never been to the NCAA tournament for a long time, and this is something I wanted to be part of,” said Hristova, who is one of 20 players on the watchlist for the Cheryl MIller award for best small forward in the nation.
