 Well, to the court, gone are a pair of thousand point scores, an incoming group of freshmen ready to make some noise for BSU women's basketball. And with a new look, Ross or the Beavers are looking to take a step up in 2017. Losing to the top five scores in program history, third year head coach Chelsea Deville is entering the season with a lot of new faces. It is difficult as a coach to go into games and say, all right, are we going to get better every game? I want to win every game, but it is a process for us. We are new. We're new as far as systems and we're new as far as veterans versus newcomers in their role. Senior forward, Sierrasinski highlights the list of experienced players returning. But to have success this year, the talented freshman class must grow up fast. Up and down, we have six freshmen, four of them saw early, early time even in our scrimmages. But we'll look to a bulk of them to play right away. And of the group of six, no one has gotten off to a better start than guard Brooklyn Bachman, scoring 22 points in her college debut. It was a lot of fun. It's been a while. It was exciting to play with a new group of girls, a new team, new conference, fresh faces. Kind of gave me a chance to go out there. Not a lot of people know me. So it was fun to go out there and just do my thing. So building the chemistry early and learning how to play together is the key for the Beavers this upcoming season. Being ranked so low in conference, not a lot of people are expecting us to be good since we're so young. So I think the freshmen and the sophomores that we have on this team have to really grow up and learn their roles fast because there's not an excuse, oh, we're a young team. No one's gonna take that lightly. They're not gonna take it easy on us just because of that. So we really gotta grow up and hold our own on the court.
