NU lost guards Stella Clark (transferred to Monmouth) and Mide Oriyomi (transferred to Purdue) and Mossi Staples (transferred to Coppin State).
They also lost F Ayana Dublin who graduated, so they at least added a player for those positions so far.
Forwards Alexis Hill and Katie May should be healthy this season after missing all of last season.
I LOVE Soriano's game. She doesn't look like a freshman point guard.
