Only two players – Christian Rateree and Danielle Anderson – are graduating in April. Keeping the team’s core group of girls together builds good chemistry.

Antonia Bennett and Tameka McKelton both finished with All-MEAC first-team honors. they bring, scoring, rebounding, intelligence, toughness and experience to every game. Nether player appears phased when she enters the spotlight.
