Head coach Dalton Miller had this to say about her most recent recruiting class, "This class reflects on our commitment to building something lasting, something sustainable. We brought in athletes who not only compete at a high level but represent our values off the court as well. There was a purpose in getting each of our incoming players, to combine this class with our returners is a team that I’m eager to watch challenge each other and compete alongside one another. Thanks to each players commitment, I’m excited about not just this season but the future of our women’s basketball program."
