The 2003 Monarchs Team

Rookie Chantelle Anderson celebrates securing our Playoff Spot by Riding the Mechanical Bull at the Sacramento State Fair the following night in 2003! Ruthie also tried her hand at the mechanical bull that night, but my mechanical digital camera didn't fare as well as she did!

In 2002 our otherwise “Championship Caliber” Team was plagued by injuries which left us without our top 3 starters for most of the season, but once Yo and Ticha returned we won 11 of our last 14 games. The team was able to relax, goof around and answer questions at the season ticket holder event at the end of the 2002 season.

Are you ready for Monarchs Season?

WE WERE THE ONLY TEAM TO BEAT THE SPARKS ON THEIR HOME COURT in 2001, IN THE ALL-IMPORTANT WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS! We also beat them in the 2004 semi-final playoffs, but lost to a new and much improved Seattle Storm team. It does appear we are getting closer to the Championship!
