OSHAWA, Ont. - Durham College women's basketball head coach Tim Baulk is pleased to announce the addition of Laura Pacevicius (Toronto, Ont.) to the program for the 2010-11 season.
“I am excited about the possibilities with Laura in the lineup,” said Baulk. “She is the missing link and I am looking for her leadership to bring the team to the medal round.”
"I am looking forward to this up-coming season with the coaching staff and teammates,” said Pacevicius. “I am thrilled to finish my basketball career in green and gold as a Durham Lord. I hope to contribute to the team's successes this season."
Pacevicius joins Durham College coming off a stellar four year career with the Laurier Golden Hawks of the OUA, after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
