Charisma Osborne, 5-9 Sr Guard who averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.  

Isobel Anstey, 6-4 Redshirt Soph Post from Australia.  Last season Anstey averaged 3 points and 4 rebounds.   Anstey will miss the first month of the season.  

Gina Conti, 5-11 Grad Transfer from Wake Forest.  Conti was with the Bruins last season however missed playing with injuries.

Angelia Dugalic, 6-4 Redshirt Soph Post a transfer from Oregon.   Angelia averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds.  She was ranked # 22 out of HS.   Sadly Dugalic is out for the season with an injury.

Emily Bessoir, 6-4 Redshirt Soph Post from Germany, who averaged 7 points and 5 rebounds two years ago however was out for the past season with a knee injury.

The Schedule:   

The only top 25 team scheduled is South Carolina.  However the Battle 4 Atlantis will feature UCLA, Tennessee, Texas, Gonzaga and Louisville and three other teams. 

 

Predictions:  

Wow big losses for sure but no transfers in or out.    Health will be a key and already one loss for the season.   Hopefully Bessoir is healthy and shows that her promise of two years ago is fulfilled.  With Conti and Rice at the point and maybe both on the floor at the same time Osborne is free to score even more.   Jaquez will be one of the top frosh in the league along with Rice.   I believe this team is underrated by the pre-season polls and will fight for a top 3 spot in the conference.

Bendu Yeaney 5-10 Guard 6^th year last season at Arizona she averaged 6 ppg

Timea Gardiner, 6-3 Forward from UT Ranked # 6.  A McDonalds All American.

Lily Hansford, 6-2 Wing from WI Unranked.

Martha Pietsch 5-5 From Germany.  Pietsch has played on several German National Youth Teams.

 

The Returning Team:

Talia von Oelhoffen, 5-11 Soph Guard ranked # 10 out of HS but graduated early so has played a year plus already.  Last season she averaged 14 points and 3 assists 

Jelena Mitrovic, 6-9 5^th Year Post who averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds. 

AJ Marotte, 6-1 Soph Wing who averaged 4 ppg   

Noelle Mannen, 5-6 Redshirt Jr Guard a former walk on who averaged 1.6ppg.

 

The Schedule:  Iowa, LSU and either Duke or UConn are the only Power 5 teams on their non-conference schedule.  

 

Predictions:  

Losing 4 starters 3 who transferred and 1 who graduated hurts.   This left 4 returning players, one who started and one who played a lot.  The Beavers do have 2 top 10 frosh and another good frosh from Germany and add to that 2 transfers who will help but how much other than the team is so thin remains to be seen.   It doesn’t like at top 6 team in the league which the Beavers have been for years now.
