The Mineola High School girls varsity basketball team missed out on a chance to make the playoffs with some tough late season losses. The team finished 3-10 in Conference B-IV and was 5-13 overall. Senior Maureen Cloghessy and junior Kristen McNally were both voted All-Division honors by the Nassau County Girls Basketball Coaches Association. Cloghessy averaged 9 points and 10 rebounds per game. McNally averaged 10 points per game and scored a team high 155 points, 24 of which came from 3 point range. Senior Kristina Zunno was selected as the scholar athlete. The criteria for that honor includes a classroom average of at least 85 and the athlete also has to be involved in five activities. Zunno boasts a 95 average and is the Key Club president, Student Organization vice-president, a member of Increase the Peace, Teen Speak Out, and student athlete-leaders. Coach Denise Zunno presented "strive for excellence" T-shirts to Liz Diaz, Kristina Zunno and Nicole Tsabasis for their strong work ethic and team spirit. This squad graduates seven seniors, so the 2002-03 Lady Mustangs will be very young.
