Knapp, Banks named W. Hoops captains

Just like the men, the women's basketball season is underway and the team has announced its two leaders this season, seniors Jess Knapp and Jourdan Banks.

Knapp was a captain last year, when she averaged 8.1 points per game and was second in rebounding on the team. Banks came in off the bench her junior season and led the Red and Blue in shooting percentage, hitting 39 percent from the floor. The captains have the task of bringing a very young class up to speed — the two seniors are joined by just two juniors — in the month before their season kicks off on Nov. 13 at home against St. Francis.
