Wiktorowski hopes the twosome can help fill some of the void left by departing senior point guard Krysten Parson, the school's all-time assist leader and three-time All-Mid Central Collegiate Conference selection.

Froese will be looked upon to provide further toughness inside, as the Leafs will attempt to replace All-American and MCC Player Of The Year Margene Murdent, who graduated with Parson.
...
Parson finished her career with 610 assists, setting a new schol record.
Indianapolis, IN -Seniors Margene Murdent and Krysten Parson had outstanding individual seasons this year for the Goshen College women's basketball team.On Thursday, they were recognized for it.
Murdent was selected as the Mid-Central Collegiate Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year as voted on by the MCC head coaches.Parson was selected to the All-MCC First Team, also voted on by the coaches.
...
"Any team we faced this year, no one was able to stop her," said Parson of Murdent."Our job was to get her the ball and she did the rest.If teams would double her or triple her, it opened up the perimeter.If they didn't, she had open looks.Marge shooting over a double-team wasn't a big thing.It was when she got triple- and quadruple-teamed that she had to kick (the ball) out.You don't see too many people like that who can take over a game at our level."
...
Resignation aside, Eiler had to say goodbye to her starting point guard of four years in Parson, who this year set the Goshen school record in assists with 610 career dishes.
...
Krysten is a true definition of a point guard."
This season's award is Parson's third All-MCC vote - she was selected to the third team as a sophomore and to the second team last year.Parson averaged 12.6 points per game in conference play this season while dishing out an amazing 185 assists (also a Goshen season record) for 6.6 a game.Parson also ranks second in Goshen's all-time records in three-pointers made (132) and third in points scored (1267).A ball of fire defensively, Parson has harassed opposing point guards for the past four years, picking up 244 steals along the way.
"Your goal in college is to improve not just yourself, but your teammates around you," Parson said."I wouldn't have broken the records without my teammates.That's what it's all about.That's been the story of my four years here.The awards are nice, but it really is a testament to the people that I played with."
Next season, Goshen's new head coach will take over a team minus two of the greatest players ever to wear a Maple Leaf uniform.
...
This would be the last time Maple Leaf fans would see the pair in the Goshen program - Parson will be gone to graduation, while Eiler announced her resignation as coach earlier this week.
...
Parson became the school's all-time assist leader and scored over 1,000 points for her career.Murdent became the school's all-time single-season scoring record holder, along with breaking the single-game scoring record.Goshen also defeated St. Francis for the first time in 16 attempts.
...
Perhaps making the game even more moving for Goshen head coach Kim Eiler was the significance of senior Krysten Parson, the only one of the three seniors to play and start every game at Goshen for four years.
...
In that time frame, Parson has become Goshen's all-time leading assist player along with notching over 1,000 points in her career.
...
Parson scored 10 points and had four assists.
For Murdent, her 21-point output came on the heels of a stellar regular season, leading the Leafs in scoring with 19 per game and setting new school records for most points scored in a season (522) and most points scored in a game (36).
...
"We had trouble matching up because when we did double down on Murdent, Parson hit some big shots."
Goshen's win dropped St. Francis into a tie for second place in the conference with Indiana Wesleyan.The Leafs' win also made it possible for Goshen to finish the season with a fifth-place conference finish, as well as making the first seven conference spots all susceptible to change with the final regular season conference games taking place this Saturday.Where Goshen will play next week in the MCC tournament will also depend on the games this weekend.
