He then added former America East Player of the Year Jesyka Burks-Wiley to his coaching staff, as well as former All-Big Sky Conference guard Rebecca Alvidrez, who spent the past six seasons as an assistant turning Alaska Anchorage into a Division II powerhouse with her strong recruiting ties. Elisha Turek, the 2007 Mid-Con Player of the Year, was also hired as the new director of operations. Oklahoma State Transfer Blair-Mobley a Welcome Addition Former Oklahoma State guard Carolyn Blair-Mobley joins the UNO women s basketball program for her final season of eligibility in A 5-10 native of St. Paul, Minn., Blair-Mobley played two seasons at Oklahoma State after one season at Cloud County (Kan.) Community College. Blair-Mobley sat out the season and has one year of eligibility remaining after she earned her bachelor s degree at OSU last year. She will be eligible to play immediately this season while pursuing her master s degree at UNO. As a junior for the Cowgirls in , Blair-Mobley started 22 of 32 games - fourth most on the squad - and averaged 2.5 points and 2.6 rebounds while attempting fewer than three shots per game. In her sophomore campaign in , her first year in the program, Blair-Mobley played in all 32 games, starting four for the Cowgirls, who finished overall and reached the NCAA Tournament Second Round. Mavs Sign Four for Season The Mavericks added four new players to this year s squad in addition to Oklahoma State senior transfer Carolyn Blair-Mobley. Two junior college transfers - Ericka House and Casse Vaughn - join the fray this season, as well as freshmen Kate Bayes and Allison Jackson. House, a 5-9 guard from Hot Springs, Ark., was regarded as one of the top junior college Region XIV players in at Tyler Junior College in Texas.

5 averaged 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game in her first year at UNO last year. Without the 6-1 Liepa, the Mavs are a little thin in the post with 6-4 sophomore center Taijhe Kelly and 6-0 junior forward Stacia Gebers the only healthy returners down low. The Mavs added some depth with 6-0 junior forward Casse Vaughn and 6-0 freshman forward Allison Jackson. OMavs.com OMAHA WOMEN S BASKETBALL Mavs Play Full Summit League Schedule for First Time The season marks UNO s first with a full Summit League schedule. UNO plays all eight Summit League foes twice, starting with a Dec. 28 game on the road at Kansas City. Although the Mavericks will appear in The Summit League standings, UNO cannot qualify for the Summit League Championship or the NCAA Tournament until UNO played 12 of its 27 games against Division I teams last year, but this year will be considerably more difficult with 25 games against Division I foes and just three against non-division I schools. Mavs Picked to Finish Ninth in First Season in The Summit League The Omaha women s basketball team was picked to finish ninth in The Summit League Preseason Poll, determined by a vote of the league s head coaches, media and media relations personnel.

Oakland, North Dakota State and IUPUI were separated by just 21 points for the third through fifth slots with the Jaguars claiming one first-place tally. South Dakota edged out Western Illinois for sixth place, while Fort Wayne and league newcomer Omaha rounded out the poll. The Mastodons collected the final first-place vote. The Summit League concluded a record-setting season a year ago, finishing the year ranked No. 19 in the College Basketball News RPI, peaking as high as No. 11 midseason. The league sent a record four teams to postseason tournaments and set a new women s league tournament attendance record.
