Amber Gray and Ashley Wanninger See Action at Xavier

Ashley Wanniger and Amber Gray saw significant playing time against the Troy Trojans on Saturday.

Gray played at Lakota West and was the Cincinnati Enquirer Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007 and a McDonald's All-American in 2008.  Gray transfered from Tennessee and got a waiver to become eligible this season. She scored two points against South Carolina in seven minutes.  She grabbed five rebounds against the Troy Trojans and added six points.

Wanniger, who was a four-year starter at Colerain, had not scored in three minutes of action but played 28 minutes against Troy.  She was 3-for-9 from the field and 2-for-8 from 3-point range.  She found teammates open for four assists.

"It's a process," senior Special Jennings said after the game.  "Our freshman played pretty well.  They are a little nervous and make mistakes because they are trying hard not to make mistakes.  But I think they got it during the game."

"Depth is going to be important for us," Coach Kevin McGuff said.  "We got a chance to play our younger players and they did a great job."
