Seventh-year head coach Lisa Stone welcomes back six players from last year’s team that made a third consecutive WNIT appearance.

Redshirt junior Amber Lindfors, who sat out last season after transferring from Valparaiso, joins the mix this year.

Sophomore Myriama Smith Traore will sit out the season after transferring from Marquette.
