year UVa head coach Joanne Boyle also expects Imovbioh to help the Cavs shore up their rebound- ing, an area where the Wahoos struggled mightily at times last season. On the glass, in particular, is where Imovbioh dominated at the high school level; at times she was able to pull down the board after almost every missed shot. "She's raw, but she's just an unbelievable ath- lete," Boyle said. "She's very coachable, but she's very raw right now. One thing Sarah is going to add is that she runs the floor like a deer and she can improve our rebounding." Those skills could lead to some easy buckets for the Cavaliers with Imovbioh scoring on put-backs and also getting ahead of the defense in transition. "She's a very quick-twitch player," Boyle said. "Which means she gets off the ground very quickly and has a great knack for being around the ball. She does get on the boards very well, and I think right now she's learning and making her fair share of mistakes early. "But she can make up for it with her defense and her rebounding, and just running the floor." While she adjusts to the new challenges of col- lege basketball, Imovbioh is focused on continuing to do what she does best. "I feel like rebounding is something I can do because that is what I really love doing," Imovbioh said. "I think I can be a rebounding presence on this team now." With that, she's looking forward to aiding the Cavs in getting back to the NCAA Tournament. "I feel like I am contributing to the team, and the team is really helping me out, so I'm looking forward to a great season." ◆ PRE-HOLIDAY SPECIAL Spend $75 and get a Free V-Sabre Snuggie Use code: snuggie1 (for navy) or snuggie2 (for orange) Offer valid through 11/21/12
