agers post 11-10 record 1985 was the varsity cagers year to ' get over the hump. ' Our 11 wins and 10 losses was the first time in four years that Northville Women ' s Varsity Basketball has posted a winning record, said second year varsity coach, Ed Kritch. A thrilling 43-39 victory over top ten Plymouth Canton was a high point in the cager ' s season, but the Chiefs fought back a month later and defeated Northville in the first round of the state tournament. Senior tri-captains Mary Howley, Chris McGowan, and Michele Siemasz were a big part of Northville ' s success as they were spirited and showed leadership to the rest of the team made up of 9 juniors and 1 sophomore. Talented juniors were noted for their fine playing. Forward Tricia Ducker was awarded All-Conference, All-Area first team, All-State honorable mention, and was voted the team ' s MVP. Center Sue Schrader was awarded All-Division and All-Area second team. Guard Julie Anger was All-Area honorable mention and voted the team ' s best defensive player. Anne Griffith was the most improved player. The total team effort and the friendship of the players toward each other contributed to their success, and 1986 looks even more promising with 10 out of the 13 players returning.
