Culver-Stockton College women’s basketball coach Timothy Southers has announced that Amber Minner has signed a letter of intent to attend school and play basketball for the Lady Wildcats, beginning with the 2008-09 school year.

Minner, a 5-foot-8 guard from Sikeston, Mo. (Sikeston HS), averaged 12.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists as senior for the Bulldogs last season. She scored in double-digits 15 times in the 23 games Sikeston played.

“We were really looking for a shooter, for a slashing guard to help handle the ball under pressure,” said Southers. “In Amber, I believe we have found that player.”

Minner is the ninth player to sign with the Lady Wildcats, joining Val Harris (Edwardsville, Ill.), Shawna Kriegshauser (Lewistown, Mo.), Danielle Harper (Eldon, Mo.), Krista Walker (Norwalk, Iowa), and Rachel Larson (New Lenox, Ill.), and junior college players Jessica Trizuto, Tai Witherspoon and Shannon Reed, all of Antioch, Calif., as newly signed recruits.

These nine will join returning starters Alysa Strickland, a sophomore from Woodridge, Ill., Breezy Guymon, a sophomore from Carthage, Ill., and Jamai Letcher, a sophomore from Keokuk Iowa.

In addition, five other players are also expected to return, including Karli Adams, a junior from Springfield, Ill., Brittany Chappell, a junior from Columbia, Mo., Megan Akright, a sophomore from Hannibal, Mo., Jessie Wampler, a sophomore from Riverton, Ill., and Anna Grgurich, a sophomore from Novinger, Mo.

Culver-Stockton, located in Canton, Mo., is affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and is a member of the 11-school Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC).
