Women's Basketball 2000-2001

Final Record: 26-5

This 26-5 cougar squad was characterized by two different teams. The first semester featured 4 returning starters (Nicky Carroll...the all time school's assist leader, Shelly Flanagan....the school' s all time leader free throw shooter in attempts and makes, Kelly Maltby, and Regina Burns) who continued the press and run style that won a state title in 2000. After Burns and Maltby's 2 year eligibility was completed, the team turned more to it's defense (set a record for lowest scoring average allowed in conference) and ran away with the conference, and continued until losing in the state championship game. Freshmen Annmarie Gigowski, Alissa Schmidt, Angela Scherrer, and Angela Palesse helped continue the cougar dominance. Flanagan became only the sixth player to score over 600 points, Schmidt set a school blocks record, and along with Carroll had a triple triple (3 digits in 3 different categories, the first time 2 players have achieved that in one season), and Coach Jack Hervert won his 250th game. It was the 4th consecutive 20 win season for UW-Waukesha.
