ROC MAKES HISTORY, BECOMES LANCERS ALL-TIME LEADING SCORER
WINDSOR, Ont. - CIS All-Canadian and third-year Windsor Lancers point guard Dranadia Roc made history on Wednesday night as she became the Lancer women's basketball's all-time leading scorer.
Roc set the record in Windsor's impressive 70-57 win over the Western Mustangs on Rivalry Night at the St. Denis Centre.
Heading into the game, she needed only eight points to break the record previously held by Windsor's Theresa McGee who had 1,021 points. Early in the fourth quarter, Roc drained a three-pointer as she became the University of Windsor's all-time leading scorer. She finished the night with 13 points to put her at 1,027 career points.
The Montreal, Que. native has continued her outstanding play this season and is widely considered to be a leading candidate for CIS Player of the Year honours. Her all-around game has helped lead her team to the No. 2 ranking in the CIS and a 14-1 record in conference play.
Entering this season, Roc had already amassed 814 points in only two seasons in the CIS. She was well on her way to achieving membership in the 1,000-point club, a feat she accomplished earlier this season with 11 points against the McMaster Marauders.
Since joining the Lancers in 2006-07, Dranadia has helped make the Lancers a team to be reckoned with. In her first year with the team, Dranadia won the OUA West Rookie of the Year award after finishing second in province and fourth in the country in scoring. That same season, she was also named to the CIS All-Rookie team.
Last season, Dranadia was instrumental in leading Windsor to their best finish in the program's history. She finished ninth in Canada in scoring and helped the Lancers advance to the OUA West Championship game thanks to a pair of clutch free throws she sank in the final seconds of their semi-final match-up against Western.
For her performance last year, Dranadia was named a CIS All-Canadian and was awarded the Banner Shield as the University of Windsor Female Athlete of the Year.
Roc, who transferred to the University of Windsor after spending a year at Florida State University, is considered to be the most significant recruit to ever commit to the Lancer women's basketball program. She is also one of the youngest members ever to play for the Canadian national senior women's basketball team.
