2009-10 OutlookComing off of the best year in program history, The University ofTampa women’s basketball team enters the 200910 season withaspirations to continue its recent history of consistent success.Tampa will look to do so as the preseason favorites to win theSunshine State Conference and ranked No. 17 in the Division IIBulletin Preseason Top 25.

Last season UT captured both the regular season and tournamenttitles in the SSC en route to winning a programbest 26 games, butthe season ended disappointingly with a secondround exit in theNCAA tournament to Ouachita Baptist. Tampa will attempt to channel that frustration into inspiration for a better finish this year.

Tampa’s eighthyear head coach Tom Jessee is excited aboutendeavoring for greater accomplishments with this veteranladensquad.

“We would like to host and win the regional,” says Jessee of thisyear’s primary goal. “We hung that on the team right at the beginning of the year. We don’t want to look back and compare one yearto another, but we do want to continue and build upon the traditionset by the previous teams.”

Achieving that goal could be made easier by the fact that Tampareturns four starters from last year’s squad, and the Spartans onlygraduated three seniors.

Angela Guiu and Catriana Messina will battle for the starting role atpoint guard. While one will receive the nod, the other will beexpected to produce just as much off the bench.

“That’s a healthy competition, and the great thing from a coach’sstandpoint is that both will play,” Jessee says, adding that both bringdifferent strengths to the floor.

Tiara Cook

Guiu is returning for her fourth year as a Spartan and brings a significant amount of starting experience into the upcoming year. Thesenior has played in 87 career games while starting in 66 of thosecontests. With a .388 mark from behind the 3point line, theLongwood, Fla. native has established herself as a menace to opponents from longrange.

Messina received valuable minutes off the bench last season andwill be able to contribute if the junior is thrust into the starting rolethis year. While averaging nearly 15 minutes as a key reserve during her sophomore campaign, the Tampa native compiled 62assists, and Jessee is eager to see how her strong offseasonimprovements translate in game action.

Gianna Messina will once again be looked to for strong productionfrom her guard position.

“We think she is certainly a player of the year type candidate in theleague, and she has really grown into a leadership role with us,”states Jessee.

The junior led the Spartans last season in virtually every offensivecategory while landing on the allSSC first team along with beingnamed the SSC Tournament Most Outstanding Player. The Tampanative and twin sister of Catriana is a significant threat frombeyond the arc as she posted the program’s secondbest clip by anindividual in a season from 3point land season with a 43.4 percentsuccess rate.

When Messina is in need of a breather, the Spartans can look tosophomore Sarah Wickham. A native of Naples, Fla., she brings astrong perimeter game to the floor. Wickham will be expected to fillin the offensive void left from the graduation of Hailee Sullivan whoremains with the team as an assistant coach.

Gianna Messina

Kamari Smith is a freshman that could potentially have an immediate impact as she has already shown a strong grasp of Jessee’s styleof play in the preseason. Sophomore Laina Sylestine and incomingfreshman Tristan Weiner will also push for minutes at guard.

Caitlyn Mitryk returns as the starting small forward after finishingfirst on the squad in blocked shots with 53 last season.

“She’s been one of the better defensive players in the conference,and we’ve asked her to step up and be more of an offensive player,”Jessee says.

The senior saw action in all 32 of Tampa’s contests last seasonwhile starting 29 and averaging nearly 30 minutes per game. Shefinished with 96 assists, good for secondbest on the squad. Mitrykalso was third on the team in rebounding.

The only newcomer to the starting five is junior college transferTaja Green. She joins the Spartans after two years at CoffeyvilleCommunity College (Kan.).

“Taja picks up things really well – student of the game, and shebrings a lot of previous college experience,” Jessee comments.

She was named to both the allregion and allconference squadsduring her two seasons at CCC, leading her team with 6.3 reboundsper game while also averaging 9.7 points a contest. She will beexpected to be a strong player for UT once she is comfortable in theJessee system, something the head coach expects to happen quickly.

Tiara Cook will make the transition from the four spot to the fiveposition this year following the departure of Kym Taylor.

“She could contend for player of the year as well. She is probablyour most athletic player, and she’s a matchup problem for oppo

nents,” Jessee states about the center.

The Holiday, Fla. native was an allSSC selection last season and alsoearned a spot on the conference’s alltournament squad. She averaged 12.3 points per game and compiled 52 blocks. The seniorneeds 414 points this season to become the 15th member of UT’s1,000 point club, a feat that would top off a strong career for Cook.

Sophomore Brittany Brown and freshman Ali Corbett are also versatile reserves that will challenge for minutes.

“We’re trying to get some depth, and we think we’ve done that withdeveloping our sophomore class and the other players we’vebrought in,” Jessee says. “To win in the regional, you have to havethat depth. You can’t win three games in four days without a strongbench.”

Tampa will also look to continue to pose problems to opponentsdefensively. Last season the Spartans finished in the top five nationally in scoring defense and field goal percentage defense.

“It’s sometimes tough to overcome problems on the offensive endon any given night, but defensively you’ve got no excuses. Youshould be able to play within the structure of your defense everynight. We feel like that will continue to be our strength.”

Tampa enters the season with heightened expectations. Behind thestrength of a veteran starting lineup and an improved bench, Jesseehopes that the Spartans can meet those expectations and remainamong the best in the Sunshine State Conference while earning abid to make a significant run through the NCAA South Regional.

Information from Under the Minaret by Dr. James W. CouigtonIn the early years, The University of Tampa started as Tampa Junior College. In 1931, the school began varsity sportscompetition. A committee sought to name the school teams. Since St. Petersburg Junior College, nicknamed the Trojans,was intended to be the arch rival, the name Spartans was selected from the ancient Greek Trojans/Spartans war. Whenthe school moved into the Tampa Bay Hotel in 1933, head football coach Nash Higgens chose the team colors. Due to thefact that most of his players came from Hillsborough High (red & black) and Plant High (black & gold), Coach Higgenscombined the colors of those two schools making the University’s colors red, black and gold.

When The University of Tampa began classes on October 5, 1931 as Tampa Junior College, there were 62 local students, tuition was $120 per semester, and there was no building to call home. Almost two years later, on Aug. 2,1933, UT found its permanent home in the old Tampa Bay Hotel and began its journey in earnest.

It has been a journey of alternating success and hardship, as the University has adapted and reinvented itself tomeet new challenges. Beginning with Frederic Spaulding, who almost singlehandedly forged his dream of a localUniversity, to the present day as UT enjoys the greatest economic and academic expansion in its history under its10th president.

Some would say it has been a bumpy ride, but all would agree it has been interesting. During that first year when,in the grips of the worldwide Depression, the University’s 700 surplus dollars were divided among the faculty aspay, and the University was accepting notes, insurance policies and deeds on homes in lieu of tuition.

There were the war years, when military pilots were being trained in Tampa and GIs began returning from the warto go to school, and married couples and some faculty members lived in Plant Hall on the upper floors.

There was a huge struggle for accreditation, which lasted for 20 years and was finally achieved in December 1951.There were the glory days of our powerhouse football team, which struck fear into the hearts of our athletic rivals.Pajama parties, sock hops, parades and second jobs were daily rituals.

The creation of the University of South Florida created another challenge, as many believed it would swallow UT.President David Delo arrived to take the University in another direction, and began to expand the size of the campus, construct new buildings and build enrollment.

In over 77 years, UT has educated and placed thousands of alumni in positions of leadership at all levels of societyaround the world. Today, its future is brighter than it has ever been, as it continues to expand in terms of academicexcellence, prestige, resources and enrollment.
