PIRATES
PARKVILLE, MO--Head coach Joe C. Meriweather will rely on the experience of five
seniors to lead the women’s basketball program into the season ahead; it will

In the end, the Pirates finished 14-17, bowing out to eventual National
Tournament qualifier, Central State (Ohio).
It was Park’s best overall season since Judy Vaughn’s 1991-92 squad
went 14-14.
Gone
from last season are five letterwinners, most notably Muneerah Williams (16.5
ppg, 7.7 rpg) and Le’Nae Gilmore (14.4 ppg, 4.5 rpg) who combined, on average,
for 31 points and 12 rebounds per outing.
Senior Glenda Grant, a point guard from Greenville, Miss., is the most
experienced returner on the roster this season.
Grant has led the team in assists each of the last two seasons, posting
137 last year and 111 in 2000-2001. She
holds the single-game record for assists, dishing out 14 play-making passes
