NW Briefs | Joe Wolfinger leaves Huskies to play at The Citadel
The 7-foot Wolfinger averaged 2.4 points in limited playing time for the Washington men's basketball team last season, saying after the season he was leaving UW to find a school where he would see more action.
Former Huskies big man Joe Wolfinger will transfer to The Citadel, a source said.
The 7-foot Wolfinger averaged 2.4 points in limited playing time for the Washington men's basketball team last season, saying after the season he was leaving UW to find a school where he would see more action.
He hopes to get it at The Citadel, a Division-I school in Charleston, S.C., that plays in the Southern Conference, going 20-13 in 2008-09 after losing in the first round of the new CollegeInsider.com postseason tournament.
Wolfinger will be a fifth-year senior next season and is apparently eligible to play immediately at The Citadel because he has graduated from UW and will enter a Master's program at The Citadel that is not offered at Washington.
Wolfinger, a native of Beaverton, Ore., was a member of UW's famed 2005-06 recruiting class that also included Jon Brockman and Martell Webster, with his departure closing the book on that group.
UW basketball schedule released
The Huskies' schedule for next season was released Thursday, though there still is no opponent for the Huskies' appearance in the Wooden Classic.
The Huskies will play at Texas Tech and at home against Texas A&M as part of the Big 12-Pac-10 Challenge. The regular season will begin Nov. 13 with the Athletes in Action Basketball Classic at UW.
The Pac-10 schedule starts with a home game Dec. 31 against Oregon State and is interrupted only by a game against Seattle U. and new coach Cameron Dollar at Edmundson Pavilion on Jan. 26.
Notes
• Jessica Pixler, Seattle Pacific's star distance runner, was named the university's Athlete of the Year for the third consecutive time. Pixler, a junior from Sammamish, joins Bente Moe (1987-89), another distance runner, as the only athletes in school history to win the award three times.
• The public is invited to a ceremony at 5 p.m. Sunday in the Don James Center to honor the championship Washington softball team.
