Over the weekend, Dick Baker led off his Local College notebook with a piece on the newest addition to the UMass women's basketball team, Kiara Bomben.
"University of Massachusetts women's basketball head coach Sharon Dawley took over last year, promising to build the program for the future. 
And she's already starting on the 2012-13 season.
Dawley has signed an interesting recruit in 5-11 forward Kiara Bomben from Australia, who is transferring in from Florida Gulf Coast University, a team which boasted a 28-4 record last season."
