Game Day!

Our first opportunity to play outside competition is tonight. We head up to Greeley for our annual, opening exhibition game. We look forward to trying out different line-ups and working on new plays against good competition. Be sure to check the website for an update on how the night goes.

We will play our next exhibition game Sunday the 7th at DU.

Brandi Collins

Brandi Collins was born in Colorado Springs on May 9th 1992 to Ramona and Corey. She was the baby of the family but that did not stop her from big dreams! She was going to be in the NHL. Forget ballet or tap dance, this girl had a plan!! Since she started walking at 10 months you can only assume that she was ice skating in no time. Eventually she realized that being the first girl in the NHL might be a little more challenging than she first thought so she shifted her focus to basketball. When playing basketball, Brandi claims that she always wears Nike shoes….NOT ANYMORE!!! Now she is a Ranger and this year we will be rocking Addidas Moon Shoes!! Brandi is a freshman this year, and her transition has been a little stressful but an enjoyable experience overall. In her time at Regis, Brandi will be studying to be a teacher and playing the point guard position for the Lady Rangers. However when she is not studying, playing basketball, lifting weights or memorizing the office and Linda’s many offensive and defensive terms, she enjoys all the malls Denver has to offer and tries to spend as much time as possible with her family.

Get to know Kari Ameling

Kari Ameling is originally from Greeley, Colorado. She has recently been defined as 95% muscle and 100% awesome. How did we reach that conclusion you might ask? It started with her 97% shooting percentage. During her free time she likes to go back home and spend time with her family. While she may be studying psychology here at Regis, her true passion lies in fettuccine alfredo. Kari is an excellent addition to the basketball team at Regis. Not only is it her loud, outspoken demeanor that we love, but also her wild and crazy attitude. To help you get to know Kari on a more personal level, we had her fill out this mad lib for you. Enjoy!

Hello my name is Tori Colin . I am a newcomer to Regis team and am so delighted to be here! If I had to describe our team this year I would say we are excited, calm, and energetic. But anyways, this dog, at least I think that's what this internet thing is called, is supposed to help you get to know me, so here we go.... I am originally from Paris, which makes me miss the mountains a lot. I am studying psychology with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I think it should all work out. I am truly happy coming to practice and get super tired when game time rolls around. When I'm not on the basketball court I like jumping around Denver, with my favorite stop being the Hawaiian store. My favorite color is blue because it reminds me of basketball. Every night I eat fettuccine alfredo, but it has to be cooked just right: crazy and colorful. Oh, and I usually don't tell people this, but I'm feeling rather boring today, so I can never sleep without my bed! Bet you never saw that coming! :)

Thanks to Kara and Lauren for this post!

Practice!

8 practices under our belts! Seems like more, somehow. Only a week and a half before our first exhibition game at UNC in Greeley. We play them every year and they are always a very tough opening act. Our goal is to play solid defense and be able to handle their pressure.

Our recruiting this fall has been awesome. The coaches work diligently throughout the year to identify talented players who will fit into our systems. In the fall we host prospects on visits to get to know them and find out if they are "Regis" material. Our players do the bulk of the work- spending time with recruits, entertaining them and giving them the inside scoop of what it is like to be a Regis student-athlete.

By and large, prospects make their decision based on how the feel they will fit in with their potential teammates. We have had a great response from our recruits and feel great about those who have already committed. By rule-I can't tell you who they are, yet! We expect to have 4-5 young ladies commit this fall.

Keep checking back, they players will be doing some posting soon!

Season Begins!

We don't do midnight madness here at Regis but we did start practice at 6:30 this morning! The first day is under our belts and for our seniors; their last "first day" ever. We started fast jumping right into transition defense and half court offense. With a slew of returning players and top-notch newcomers, we are have high expectations and plan to get our systems in place quickly.

Be sure to get on the website to keep up with our schedule. You can follow all of games via Live Stats and most of our games are streamed online, as well.

Go Regis!
