Tashi Tasnadi

USF's third European import to make her debut in a Lady Dons uniform. A solid perimeter player, she exploded for a career-high 25 points against eventual West Coast Conference Champion Saint Mary's College and has scored 406 career points - 84 on 3-pointers. Earned WCC Player of the Week honors after averaging 17.0 points per game and 7 rebounds a game in victories against Northern Illinois and Cornell last season.


Jennifer Madkins

One of USF's best defensive stoppers since her arrival on the Hilltop four years ago has been a fixture in the starting lineup since her sophomore campaign. She currently ranks ninth on the all-time steals list with 155 career picks and ninth in the all-time assists charts with 279. So far she has scored 645 points in her Lady Dons career. In 1998 she ranked second in the West Coast Conference in steals and third in assists and led the team in both categories.


Sarah Wanless

Completes her fifth season as a member of the Lady Dons Basketball Family. A key component of USF's storied run to the 1996 NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16, she prepares tonight for her 108th career start in her 115th game on the Hilltop. An 11 point performance at Loyola Marymount this season propelled her past 1000 career points - the 13th Lady Don to accomplish the feat. Currently she needs 27 rebounds to become just the fourth player in program history to record 700 points and 700 rebounds in her career. Her impact is felt on the USF career record books where she ranks 12th in scoring with 1,038 points, 10th in rebounding with 673 boards and third in blocked shots with 124. She propelled USF to a tremendous upset victory against defending Pac-10 Champions #18 Oregon, exploding for a career-high 26 points and five offensive rebounds to go along with three assists and two blocked shots. Last season she led the West Coast Conference in field goal percentage, connecting at a .571 clip from the floor. A member of the 1998 All-WCC First Team and a two-time member of the WCC's All-Academic Team, boasting a 3.98 grade point average in English, she also earned conference player of the week honors twice in her career.


Krista Knapp

Transferred to USF after a standout career at Foothill Community College. A versatile post player, she exploded for a career-high 21 points against Pepperdine in the 1999 West Coast Conference Tournament. This season she scored a season-high 15 points in a victory against San Diego State on 7-10 shooting from the field.
