Outlook: The Eagles will feature a guard-heavy offense this season and will be looking for leadership from two experienced seniors in Figueroa and Colmenares. Igartua will be a key asset as she steps into a starting role at the point guard position.

"If we can win the transition game and control the tempo, we have the potential to be a successful team."
