Happy Birthday Oct 17 Melody What started as “rebound and run” turned into a conference MVP caliber player. Was so fun watching you grow in your time at GU, and that you grew up as a little girl aspiring to become exactly who you are to many other little girls. Love ya Mel! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Oct 7 Janelle! One of the first to normalize crushing hard academic major and succeeding high level on the court. An engineer! And also importantly impacting kids lives through hoops back in Canada! Plus making us smile with the dancing. Love ya JBekk! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Nov 16 @Jillbarta_33 ! The perfect forward to transition to the modern era. Was the best shooter AND rebounder often! Showed us what toughness (or stibbbornness🤔) was playing through some gnarly injuries. Love ya JB! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Nov 5 Ash ! Original Canadian taught us about the level of bball you can find up there, and about why we call you the “Friendly Neighbors Up North!” One of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Very sweetly destroyed people on the court. Love ya Burkey! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Nov 19 @kayla_standish ! Proud of you in all kinds of ways. A player who was quietly dominant, a pro people still want to come play for them, a mama who handles two kids with ease and grace, but mostly a person who has overcome a lot in life. Love ya Kay! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Sept 12 Elaina ! One of my first experiences coaching an actual forward. Liked it so much I’m one of the only coaches putting two of them on the floor at the same time now. One of the best storytellers I know. Love ya E. Bomb! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Katelan! Guards couldn’t handle you. Forwards couldn’t contain you. You were an opponents nightmare. Brings a smile to my face every time I see you on the sidelines coaching the next wave of Spokane greats!! Love ya Reddy! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Aug 24 @gstirt5 ! Love seeing that smile while you were directing traffic out there. Im gonna say best athlete in the family. Lead our team to a Sweet 16 in your first year with us! PG=Leader in my books. Excited for what is ahead for you! Love ya G!❤️💙
Happy Birthday Aug 17 Tiff ! Amazing story of dealing with Type 1 Diabetes while playing high level college basketball when that was unheard of. Made some of the first BIG shots in Zag history. Way more than a shooter. Love ya Shivo! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Aug 6 to the original Aussie Kelly! Resident tough gal and enforcer turned loving mama. I would take you on my team every day. Everyone likes someone who never backs down. Love ya Kel! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Meg! (on Aug 16) The player who taught me how to recruit. One of the first real sharp shooters we had in the program, which has set the bar for many to follow! Glad you moved close now, wish you were closer. Love ya Megs! ❤️💙
Happy Birthday Shelby ! Every year I’m in awe of how you keep improving as a player. I love how you have developed a passion for travel and adventure through your time playing hoops. I also love when you come visit, so please do! Love ya Shleb!❤️💙

Happy Birthday @kiarakudron11 ! I can’t believe we missed ya in Ohio,but grateful for every time I get to see this little cutie. Can’t wait to meet the next one! You are as good as being mom as you ever were at running the floor and ripping down rebounds. Love ya Kiki! ❤️💙
