Monica Vidoni is upping the ante.
The Coupeville High School grad is deep into her second sport at Rainy River Community College in Minnesota, making her one of the few Wolves in recent years to play multiple sports at the collegiate level.
Now 10 games into a 25-game womens’ basketball season, which comes on the heels of a volleyball season, Vidoni is back on Whidbey for winter break.
When she and her Voyageurs teammates return to the court Jan. 6, they will carry a 5-5 record into battle with Fond du Luc Tribal.
Rainy River will play nine games in Jan., then wrap up its regular season with six more in Feb.
The Voyaguers have been led by sophomore Shania Thompson, who is averaging 24.8 points per game.
Freshmen Cassie Tomczak (13.2) and Maddie Filipiak (13.1) round out a dangerous trio.
Vidoni has played in eight of her team’s 10 games, scoring 12 points and hauling down 14 rebounds.
Her best game came against Itasca, when she dropped in four points and corralled five rebounds.
Vidoni also came up big against Fond du Lac, when she snagged five boards, and Anoka-Ramsey, where she drilled all four of her free throw opportunities.
A 2015 CHS grad, she played volleyball, basketball and softball all four years she was a Wolf and was a key supporting player on the 2014-2015 girls’ basketball squad which won the school’s first league title in 13 years.
