Leader of the Pride
Guard Chelsey Henry returns as the only senior from last year's squad and will be looked upon to make sure that all nine newcomers understand what it means to compete in what is the MIAA. She closed out last year's schedule fifth in the MIAA in scoring (17.5 ppg), fourth in free-throw percentage (86.6%), and seventh in field-goal percentage (43.0%) to earn All-MIAA honorable mention while being just 130 points shy of breaking the 1,000 career-point barrier in the green and gold.
How many Transfers are we going to take before passing? FOUR!!!
With eight players departing, the coaching staff mapped out the entire college basketball landscape in order to find four transfers and they did in the shape of 6'1 forward Laue Assena (Lipscomb University), 5'10 guard Chasidee Owens (Ouachita Baptist), 5'8 guard Destiny Cozart (John A. Logan), and 6'2 center Jordan Schoenberger (Independence CC).
Up Next
The Lions begin the regular season in Shawnee, Oklahoma to take on Oklahoma Baptist (11/9) and No. 13 Southwestern Oklahoma State (11/10) as part of the conference challenge between the Great American (GAC) and the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) next weekend
