After last year’s struggles, the coaching staff got to work in the offseason and brought in veteran presence and young talent.
Senior Guard Taylor Pilot passes the ball to a teammate in the University of Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks women's basketball 2024 Blue and Gold Game.FAIRBANKS, Alaska -It’s now the time of the year when University of Alaska Fairbanks basketball squads begin hitting the courts, and the women’s team rung in the new season on Saturday with the annual Blue and Gold Game.
“Right now, we have so much more depth I think than I’ve ever had being here just one through more like nine or 10 instead of one through six or seven,” she said. “None of them are worried about their points average. They are talking about how they want to distribute the ball and set their teammates up,” the head coach said.
Reimers was third in per-game scoring for the Nanooks last season at 9.9 PPG, also coming in second for assists with 72. Pilot is one of the five new transfers on UAF’s roster this year. She joined the team from California State University Stanislaus. Although the pair had a couple turnovers Saturday, they linked up with promising regularity, and Pilot showed versatility, both driving to the basket and feeding teammates from the outside.
