BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Seniors Kelly Kapferer and Tene Lewis have been named the co-captains of the 2004-05 Bowling Green State University women's basketball team, head coach Curt Miller has announced. Kapferer and Lewis were selected in a vote of team members and coaching staff late last week.
"This is an great honor for Kelly and Tene," said Miller. "In some programs, the coaches choose the captains. In our program, though, each player has a say. I think it brings more significance to that role, and Kelly and Tene will do a great job in upholding the honor of leading the 2004-05 Falcons."
Kapferer, a fifth-year senior, was a unanimous choice for captain, the first in Miller's four-year tenure. A native of Jefferson, Ohio, she played in all 31 games last season, as the Falcons went 21-10 and advanced to the championship game of the MAC Tournament. Kapferer averaged 4.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, with two of her six double-digit scoring games coming in the league tournament.
