2012-13 GLIAC Women's Basketball Season Preview

By Sandy Gholston, Special Writer for the GLIAC


BAY CITY, Mich. – This season has all the makings of being another hotly-contested battle for Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) women's basketball supremacy on the hardwood.

This season, the GLIAC features several of the top teams in the nation in Division II – led by national finalist Ashland University, which welcomes back one of the best players in the nation, senior forward Kari Daugherty. Daugherty has already been named the Women’s D-II Bulletin National Preseason Player of the Year. Her Eagles, a team that finished 19-0 in league play last winter under head coach Sue Ramsey, was picked as the No. 1 team in the USA TODAY Sports/ESPN Division II Top 25 women's basketball pol preseason poll.
