Interview with Mallie Doucette:

1.Which school have you decided to attend and why?

I decided to attend Minnesota State Moorhead.  I chose this school because of my love for basketball and my dream to play at the next level.  Moorhead seemed like a good fit for me, the coaches were awesome and they treated me very well. I’m excited to play for them next year.

2.  What other schools did you consider?

I always tried to keep my options open for the other colleges.  I had a couple opportunities to visit some smaller D3 schools such as UW-Superior, UW-Oshkosh, and Wisconsin Lutheran College, and some other D2 schools such as Winona and I originally considered Mankato but never had the chance to pursue that.

3.  What are your goals for the 2013-2014 school season?
Our first goal, as a team, is definitely to be conference champions.  If we are fortunate enough to achieve that then we just keep moving down the latter, such as regional champs, sectional champs exc.  My dream is to be a state champion.  I'm determined to share that with my team and my dad especially.  I love my team and coach more than anything and am prepared to do anything to help us get there.

4.  How long have you played in the Team Wisconsin program?
 I think I've played in the Team Wisconsin program since 5th grade.  I'm not 100% sure but it has been a long time, and it was an amazing experience.  I wish I had another year to play.

5.  What were the benefits of playing with Team Wisconsin?
Team Wisconsin has definitely been the basis of all of my greatest memories.  I've met my closest friends playing on that team.  It developed me not only as a basketball player but as a person.  They taught me to put others first and to give it my all and have fun with the game. 

6.  What was your favorite Team Wisconsin memory/experience?
To be completely honest I can't pick just one.  One that definitely is at the top of my list is going to Chicago with my team in the summer of 2012.  That was one of the best basketball trips I've ever been on.  I loved every single one of my teammates and my coach and I wish I could do it all over again. We all laughed the entire time and played some great basketball.  Those girls were amazing people. 

7.  What advice do you have for younger basketball players:

That people are going to be expecting a lot from you.  Don't ever take this game for granted, I wish I could start my career all over again.  Drink it all in and cherish it, these are going to be the best times of your life enjoy them while you have them because they go by very, very quickly.  Don't let anyone hold you back, if you work hard it will show; basketball is a very humbling sport, if you don't put time in it will show on the court.  But always remember to have fun playing the sport you love.

Best of luck to Mallie during her senior season and next season as a Dragon!
