Amber Gray, Jessica Pachko and Ashley Wanninger competed against each other in the Greater Miami Conference. Now they open the 2010-2011 season as Xavier Musketteers in an exhibition game against Bellarmine University.
Xavier is top five team in the Associated Press Poll and are ranked sixth in the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll.
The Musketeers nearly reached the women's final four last season. A pair of missed layups prevented them from advancing to the final four, suffering a painful 55-53 loss to Stanford.
Gray was the top player in the GMC at Lakota West. She accepted a scholarship to Tennessee but was granted a medical waiver to transfer and compete without sitting out a season.
Pachko played at Oak Hills and signed with Marquette. She must sit out this season as required by NCAA rules. Pachko will have two years of eligibility at Xavier. She scored 1,410 points for the Highlanders in high school, more than any other player male or female.
Wanninger played at Colerain and signed directly with Xavier. Wanninger was named All-Ohio in Division I after her senior season at Colerain. She played under Christy Mack, the wife of Xavier's men's coach, Chris Mack.
