CSU Baseball out for support
In an effort to raise money for their top-ranked club baseball
team’s trip to defend its national title, the members of CSU
Baseball are hosting a fund-raising golf tournament May 21 at Mad
Russian Golf Course.
Planned in conjunction with Party On Event Planning, the
tournament will feature 18 holes of golf, a home run contest and
raffle prizes. All proceeds will go to benefit the Rams in their
quest to win the National Collegiate World Series for the second
year in a row in Bradleton, Fla.
“It’s a good opportunity to help a club in need,” said CSU
Baseball Vice President Nathan Klein in a press release. “We’re
making our fourth consecutive run at Nationals and need all the
help we can get.”
The course is located at 2100 Country Club Pkwy., Milliken,
Colo. Businesses interested in sponsoring the event or those
wanting to participate in the event can contact CSU Baseball head
coach Frank Gonzalez at 217-3771.
Women’s basketball in pursuit of Huskie
Former Highlands Ranch High School standout and recent member of
the University of Connecticut’s 2004 National Champion team Liz
Sherwood is looking to transfer and counts CSU among her teams of
interest. The 6-foot-4 center spent the 2004 season under the
tutelage of head coach Geno Auriemma, but had an apparent falling
out with the coach toward the end of the season, which she spent
predominately on the bench. Neither Auriemma nor Sherwood was
available for comment.
According to Lisa Eakins, CSU women’s basketball administrative
assistant, CSU head coach Chris Denker “is actively recruiting
Sherwood at this time.”
Assistant director of CSU media relations Heather Kennedy added
that Connecticut has granted Sherwood permission to seek a
transfer.
Last season the two-time All-Colorado selection averaged 4.3
points and 1.8 rebounds per game, but did not play in the Huskies’
last four NCAA Tournament games. Colorado, Vanderbilt and Fresno
State are also schools Sherwood is reportedly considering a
transfer.
