Like their colleagues on the men's side, the Buffs enter the 2010-2011 season with a new coach and new outlook. 
A tough 2009-2010 campaign saw CU finish 13-17 and 3-13 in the Big 12, but the challenging season meant experience and growth for everyone on the team. The Buffs named former player Linda Lappe as head coach after coaching 3 years at Metro State College in Denver. She helped the Buffaloes reach the Elite 8 in 2002, and knows what it takes to win in the Big 12. She's coined it "The Colorado Way." 
Senior forward Brittany Spears is expected to anchor the Buffs offense this year. She's started all 93 games in her career and averaged more than 15 points per game last season. She says Lappe's winning history at Colorado brings strong credibility to the program.
Lappe says Spears' play this year will be a huge part of whether the Buffs can improve in her first season in Boulder.
