Former Cougar Alison Cheney makes Colorado State basketball tea

CSU women's basketball coach Kristen Holt finalized her 2008-09 roster Friday by announcing the addition of three players.chool, and Alison Cheney, a 5-8 junior guard from Kersey who transferred from Western Nebraska Community College, were selected as walk-ons. The Rams also signed freshman Chatilla van Grinsven, a 6-2 forward from the Netherlands.

The additions give Holt 14 players for her first season as the Rams' coach. Eight are returnees - sophomore guard Bonnie Barber, senior forward Amaka Uzomah, senior forward Britney Minor, senior guard Kandy Beemer, sophomore guard Zoi Simmons, senior forward Carine Reimink, redshirt junior center Devran Tanacan and junior forward Juanise Cornell, the only player to have completed two or more seasons with the Rams.

The other players are recruits Kim Mestdagh, a freshman guard/forward from Belgium; Natalie van den Adel, a second-year freshman guard from the Netherlands; and Meghan Heimstra, a freshman forward from Silver Creek High in Longmont.

The Rams will begin practice in about five weeks. They went 4-28 overall and 0-6 in Mountain West Conference play last season with both records the worst in school history.
