The University of Montevallo women's basketball team kicked off their season with a friendly scrimmage against Shelton State Community College on Sunday, October 26th. With 4 new freshman, there is a bit of inexperience on the team, but the leadership is even thinner. Carrington Caise is the only senior on the team this year, and she has been relied upon to be the leader this year. Luckily for Coach Hilbrich, Caise was prepared for the challenge.

"She's really taken it on her shoulders to be a leader this year," said Coach Hilbrich. "She's our team captain and she does a great job being vocal, and pushing everybody and getting them really to do what we need them to do."
Carrington Caise plans on graduating in May 2015, majoring in Mass Communication. Although her schedule is rigorous, she has given her time and dedication to basketball as well. One of her main goals this year is to help the incoming freshman who are still getting used to the game.
"I don't let them get down on themselves, you know?" said Caise, who plans on leading by example this year. "I want to help them know what position to be in, and help them talk to each teammate and know where to go."

Carrington has also made it a mission to have a better relationship with Coach Hilbrich after a shaky junior season. And so far, the results are positive.
"We are doing a lot better than what we probably have in the past, but now we have really good communication. What ever she says I hear it, I take it, and we do right."
Carrington Caise and the Lady Falcons host North Alabama for their first home game on November 19, 2014.
