Allow Me to Introduce Myself


Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Hello Dartmouth women’s basketball fans! First things first, let me introduce myself. My name is Jessica Poole and I’m the new women’s basketball SID here at Dartmouth. I have the pleasure of working with the AWESOME Dartmouth women’s basketball team and staff and let me say, so far, it has been a BLAST.

Let me share a little background about myself, I’m about 713.68 miles away from my hometown of Ann Arbor, Mich., and the Dartmouth women’s basketball team is the fourth women’s basketball team that I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my career. I’ve also worked with the University of Denver, UNC Greensboro and most recently the University of Michigan women’s team.

Needless to say, I am somewhat of a basketball junkie so I think that this group and I are going to get along just fine. Speaking of being a basketball junkie, I have had my eyes glued to the WNBA playoff this season (and not just because coach Griffith presented the trophy at the Western Conference Finals, but that was pretty sweet!) The level of talent in this year’s Finals is just crazy and makes me very excited about the upcoming college season. (36 days until the season-opener at Kansas State:)

I haven’t been at Dartmouth or in Hanover very long, 39 days to be exact, but I do know that the folks at Dartmouth and in Hanover take their women’s basketball very seriously; and honestly who could blame them, 17 Ivy League Championships is quite impressive! I’m very excited to get the season underway and I’m very grateful to Dartmouth and the women’s basketball team for welcoming me with open arms.

I’ll be checking in with you all from time-to-time with the SID’s point of view and we’ll even have some of the Big Green players make guest appearances on the blog this season!

Make sure to keep up with the women’s basketball team by “Liking” our Facebook Page (Dartmouth Women’s Basketball) and following us on Twitter (@Dartmouth_WBB).

Until next time,

Jess Poole
