Leading the Lady Eagles this year is Kendall Ford and Kennedy Smith as well as Mia Barre.

Griffin said that their offensive strengths feature multiple shooters and all-around athleticism.

"We lack overall team experience and size in the post," Griffin said. "However, we do have quickness and aggressiveness to overshadow some of weak spots."
