Senior Lindsay Alexander, a 5-feet-10 point guard, has already scored 1,222 points. She's been the team's leading scorer. Teammate Nicole Cataline has scored 846 points.

Coach Rick Becker can also count on Nicole Dougherty, the team's 5-10 two-guard.

The Knights were 21-8 last year and finished runner-up in District 1 Class AA playoffs. They move to Class A this season.
