Head Coach Richard Moodie
On the returners and their strengths: "We are returning Sydney Ham who was the newcomer of the year in our conference, Monique Gray who was picking up minutes at the end of the season, Kailey Littleford who has always found herself in and around the scoring early in the season and Morgan Cross who is returning for her fifth year, who is one of the most prolific scorers in the conference.
 
On the position as a whole: "It's an exciting group. We are a team that has managed to find the back of the net quite often over these last few years and I feel like we've just added a little bit more ammo to our arsenal. We've got a combination of freshman, transfers, upperclassman and fifth years and I think it's a pretty well-versed group that we can get a lot out of this year."

On the newcomers: "We've got Bonnie Frost, who plays a winger, she's a local player who is very, very athletic and technically and tactically proficient. Then of course we added Jasmine Greene, a transfer from Furman, who was actually our top goal scorer from the spring."
 
Morgan Cross
On the upcoming season: "I'm excited to get with a new group of girls and hopefully go for a fourth Sun Belt Tournament trophy in a row. I feel like we've got a really good group and I am excited to see how far we can go, even in the national tournament."
 
On her personal goals: "I am looking to graduate and hopefully go pro so just doing as well as I can this season, scoring and assisting as many as possible and just doing what I can for the team."
 
On the newcomers: "It's always good to have new girls coming in because everyone brings something new to the team. Tuesday was just our first session so it's exciting to see how everyone is going to gel together."
 
Sydney Ham
On the upcoming season: "I am super excited. It will be my second year so I am just excited to get back and be with everybody again."
 
On her personal goals: "My personal goals this season is to work on taking people 1V1, getting faster and just being a better attacker and not being timid."
 
On the newcomers: "I am so excited to have the new forwards here who are from all different cultures and places. I am excited to have new competition and I think it's going to be great for the team."
