About The Team 

Established in 1981, the women's basketball program is Elms College's oldest NCAA-sponsored athletic team. It has recorded more than 200 victories during its 30-year history, won the 1992-1993 Massachusetts Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (MAIAW) Championship, the 2000-2001 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Championship, and has had six players eclipse the 1,000-point milestone.

In 2009-10, the Blazers garnered the fourth seed in the 2009-10 New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Championship tournament, and produced wins in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds of the tournament to earn a berth in the title game. In the process, Elms posted a four-point win over the tournament's top seed in the semifinals to advance to the championship game.

Sophomore point guard Carolyn Talmadge (Wilbraham, Mass.), a Second-Team All-NECC selection, was the catalyst for the Blazers' offense this season, leading the team in both points scored (312) and assists with 123. Talmadge's keen passing vaulted her into the top slot on the program's all-time assists list, as she has now dished out 244 during her two-year career at Elms. Her 123 helpers is also a single-season program record, besting the total of 121 she set as a freshman in 2008-09. 

The Blazers received stellar play from freshman guard Jen Normandie (Westford, Mass.) who netted a second-best 238 points in her debut season. She was also a force on the glass, hauling in 143 rebounds in 26 games played.

Senior guard Annie Dunnack (Mansfield Center, Conn.) was the squad's sharpshooter during the 2009-10 campaign as the three-year player amassed a 41.9 field goal percentage, and connected on 34.6-percent of her shots from three-point range.

After missing a majority of the season due to injury, senior forward Amanda Brogna (Oxford, Mass.) was an impact player in the 13 contests she played in, pouring in 143 points and grabbing 94 boards. Brogna concludes her career as the program's all-time leader in blocked shots (71) and her mark of 24 swats in 2008-09 still stands as the school's single-season record. She also ranks eighth on the Blazers' all-time points list (864) and is second on Elms' career field goal percentage list (47.8-percent).

In addition to competing in the NECC, the Blazers are also members of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
