We return 6 players that played significant minutes for us as we
finished 20-7 with 4 starters returning including Missouri signee
Micah Linthacum and Indiana State signee Caitlin Anderson. Looking
for our younger players to step up as the season progresses to
provide us with depth. We should be more consistent inside and
outside and should be very balanced offensively. Defensively we
should be strong as our experienced players have a good handle of
what we want to get accomplished. Our expectations are very high
and feel our schedule will challenge us to prepare us for the post
season.
