Misc. Information

Head coach Patricia Tramble enters her 6th season at Central State in 2007-08 after serving as an assistant coach for 15 years under the legendary Theresa Check. While Check amassed an incredible 355-95 won-loss record in her 15 year tenure, much of the credit goes to Tramble who was in charge of recruiting. During the 90's, the Lady Marauders had ten 20+ winning seasons, averaging nearly 25 wins per year. In Tramble's first year, she went 30-2 and took the team to the Final Four. In 2005-06 the Lady Marauders went 12-14 and did marginally better in 2007, going 13-13.
