DURHAM, North Carolina -- North Carolina Central women’s basketball coach Vanessa Taylor enters her fourth season at a crossroads.
Gone is associate head coach Ronnie Enoch after parents complained over alleged inappropriate conduct with some of the players. Also gone are some of those same players.
The Eagles (5-11 MEAC, 7-22 overall) finished a disappointing No. 9 last season and are predicted to finish 12th in the MEAC. NCCU has yet to get its engine roaring under Taylor, and with just two seniors, this may be another rebuilding season.
“I think we learned a lot,” Taylor said. “But last year we had four seniors that started for us. We have moved into somewhat of a facelift. You will see eight new faces playing on the floor this year.”
Junior guard Morgan Jones is the only returning starter. She was second on the team in scoring COwith 9.1 points per game. Senior forward Tisha Dixon will try to get her groove back after an injury-filled season, while senior Kristin Askew will add needed veteran leadership and experience.
