FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Monique Mulder enters her first season with the Lumberjacks after spending the last two seasons at New Mexico Junior College where she was an All-WJCAC honorable mention selection.

Take a look at the junior guard from Antioch, Calif. before the Lumberjacks take the court on Nov. 3 with their home exhibition against New Mexico Highlands.

What's your life motto or philosophy you live by?

My favorite quote is "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

Who would be your dream NBA/WNBA starting five?

Allen Iverson at point guard, Kevin Durant at shooting guard, Carmelo Anthony at small forward, LeBron James at power forward and Shaquille O'Neal at center.

With the game on the line, would you rather score the game-winning shot or shut down your opponent one-on-one?

Definitely shut down my opponent one-on-one. I can score the winning basket, but that's not my goal. I'd rather play defense.

What are your strengths as a player?

I like to be positive and keep everybody upbeat even when things get hard. I like to also make everybody better.

What are your personal goals for the season?

 I want to get better every day and help our team get as far as we can.
