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.

I agree. Soriano and Donna Ntambue are JMU type players IMO.

NU got their first ever win at JMU with a decisive 62-50 victory. NU gets a split of a tough Towson/JMU road trip and the win puts them at 6-3 in the league (12-7 overall).

The 3 losses are to the 3 teams ahead of them in the standings (Drexel, Delaware and Towson) and NU still gets to play those 3 again at Cabot.
