Susan Anderson makes her debut as The Master’s College women’s basketball coach when the Mustangs open the season today at 5:30 p.m. at home against Walla Walla (Wash.) College.

Anderson, who played forward at the University of Texas, replaces Cliff McMannis, who directed the Mustangs to a 4-17 record in his only season as coach last year.

Before coming to Master’s, Anderson played for Athletes in Action in Brazil.

In 1987, Texas advanced to the final four.

Forward Kim DeVries, a sophomore who averaged 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds last season, is the Mustangs’ top returnee.

She is joined by senior guard Deborah Prociw, who averaged 11.3 points and five rebounds a game.

Vying for playing time alongside Prociw are junior Krissi Trower and Connie Van Wingerden.
