"Name: Theodora Panteli (F)
Panteli, a transfer from Jacksonville (Texas) College, brings a wealth of experience to Binghamton University's lineup. The 6-foot sophomore from Athens, Greece, was a member of the Greece Under-20 team in 2006 and the Under-18 team in 2005. She's an excellent ball handler and rebounder who could spell the seniors up front.
Stat: 4
Panteli joins seniors Juta Jahilo (Finland), Laura Sario (Finland) and Laine Kurpniece (Latvia) as the fourth Bearcat born outside of the United States. Sario and Kurpniece were both named to the preseason all-conference team and Jahilo will have a big impact on the team this season. The Bearcats are hoping Panteli's impact will be just as big.
Name: Laura Sario (G)
Sario is the Michael Jordan of Binghamton's women's basketball. Despite being injured for a good chunk of the 2006-2007 campaign, Sario was named second-team all-conference at the end of the season and followed that up by being voted unanimously to this year's all-conference first team. The senior from Espoo, Finland, is the team's top returning scorer and an excellent lock-down defender.
Stat: 26
Sario always elevates her game when it matters. In last season's America East quarterfinals against Boston University, Sario scored a collegiate-best 26 points to help the Bearcats rally from a 17-point deficit and secure a victory on their home floor.
Name: Darryll Peterson (G)
The second year guard from Baltimore, Md., appeared in 15 games last season, averaging 1.1 points and .8 rebounds. Expect those numbers to increase if her minutes increase. As a high school senior she averaged 19.9 points and 7.2 rebounds while playing in one of Maryland's toughest conferences.
Stat: 6'0'
Peterson stands 6 feet tall, not impressive for an NBA guard, but very imposing for America East women's basketball. Few guards in the conference can match Peterson's size, so having her on the bench gives coach Rich Conover a very versatile weapon.
Name: Aerielle Belk (G)
Belk is a freshman walk-on player from Iselin, N.J. In high school she was a four-year letter winner and all-county player at Union Catholic. She saw plenty of action in the first two exhibition games and if the injuries to the point guards in front of her continue, Belk could be a major player.
Stat: 28
Belk played a combined 28 minutes in the two exhibition games. That's probably more than anyone expected, but it might become a trend if the other guards get hurt. Should injuries hit, any early season work will be beneficial.
Name: Juta Jahilo (F)
Jahilo, a bruising rebounder from Helsinki, Finland, spent the summer playing for the Finnish National Team. She should compete for a starting spot, but coming off the bench, she instantly becomes one of the best six women in the America East. She is a dominant inside threat who reached double figures in scoring five times and rebounding twice last season.
Stat: 13
The senior forward pulled down 13 rebounds twice in her career, including once last season at home against Villanova. With plenty of talented perimeter shooters on this squad, Jahilo's impact will be invaluable.
Name: Jackie Ward (G)
With two point guards lost to graduation, the freshman from nearby Pittsford, N.Y., should have an immediate impact. Ward is a highly creative player who can impact games in a multitude of ways, from scoring to passing to defending. She has been nursing an injury, but should be ready when the season starts.
Stat: 3
In high school Ward was a three-time New York state player of the year. She was also named All-Monroe County three times and was named the Division III player of the year twice.
Name: Erica Carter (G)
The sharp-shooting sophomore from Naperville, Ill., may very well be the key to Binghamton's season this year. In just her second season, Carter might already be the most talented. Carter appeared in every game last season, making nine starts and averaging 9.9 points as a starter.
Stat: 28
Carter put up 28 points in Tuesday's final exhibition game against St. Rose. Of her 28 points, 24 came from the eight 3-pointers that Carter drained. Her .357 shooting percentage from downtown is the top among starters. Before Tuesday the most Carter put up in a game was 18.
Name: Jaki Goldner (F)
As a 6-foot-2-inch freshman from Katonah, N.Y., Goldner brings an impressive resume to the Bearcats' front court. She was a four-year starter at Somers High School, named fourth-team Class A all-state in her senior year and was named all-league all four years of high school.
A four-year starter at Somers ' named fourth-team Class A All-State as a senior ' selected All-Section three teams and all-league four times ' named to the All-Journal News team twice and the North County News first team as a senior ' averaged 21.3 points per game her senior year ' scored over 1,300 points during her high school career.
Stat: 1,300
Goldner, who scored five points in eight minutes of action Tuesday night, accumulated 1,300 points in her high school career. The forward's success got her named to the All-Journal News team twice and the North County News first team as a senior.
Name: Bobbi Van Fleet (F)
Van Fleet, a freshman from Plainfield, N.J., did a little of everything in high school. As a sophomore she was named the Greater Middlesex Conference Rookie of the Year. In her junior year she went on to set the J.P. Stevens High School block record and in 2006 she started for the New Jersey state champion Amateur Athletic Union team, the New Jersey Flames.
Stat: 5
As in tools. Just like baseball, basketball has its own five tool players; Van Fleet is one of them. She scores, she rebounds, she passes, she blocks and she steals. In her junior season of high school she averaged 11 points, eight rebounds, two assists, five blocks and three steals. Definitely the kind of player you want on your fantasy team.
