Lady Mustang Basketball Signs Bailey

July 9, 2016

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – The Master’s College women’s basketball team has signed Brooke Bailey, a native of Spokane, Washington.

“I chose The Master’s College because of the scripture-based education, small community, and student life,” said Bailey. “To be a part of a college where the main focus is to glorify God throughout the entire student body is hard to find these days. That is what truly makes The Master’s College so special.”

The 5-9 future Lady Mustang enters her time at TMC with an impressive resume of athletic honors earned at University High School, a member of the Greater Spokane League.

Bailey led the Titans to two consecutive sixth-place finishes in the Washington State 4A Tournament, earned second-team all-conference honors, and was a top five scorer in her league.

Looking ahead to her time as a Lady Mustang, Bailey already has her sights fixed on achieving a number of goals.

“One of my biggest goals in college is to be conference champions all four years while I am there and go to the national tournament,” said Bailey.

When not competing Bailey plans on majoring in Biological Science for a career as a pediatric nurse.

Commenting on Bailey’s signing, TMC head coach Dan Waldeck said, “Brooke epitomizes what we look for in a women’s basketball player. She is a knock-down shooter and an extremely physical and relentless competitor with ability to score at the rim or off the dribble. Her fire for the Lord, matched with her high-talent level, makes her a perfect fit for us.”

Waldeck plans to play Bailey on the wing.

In 2015-16, The Master’s College women’s basketball team posted an overall record of 25-6 and went 14-2 in Golden State Athletic Conference play. The Lady Mustangs look to build on last year’s strong results with a slew of veterans and an impressive class of new recruits.
