At 9 a.m. the team gathered in Power Gym to begin the 2016-17 season. The team ran through a number of warm-up and finishing drills as well as conditioning and offense and defensive work.

Along with Hughes and Mosetti, other returning guards are sophomore Stephanie Jones, r-junior Rachel Gartner along with rookie Taylor Ortlepp.
