With only one senior, two juniors and one sophomore on the roster, the Bears will rely heavily on the incoming class. The key returners include junior Diamond Lewis, who averaged 8.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. In addition to Lewis, the Bears will turn to the leadership of classmate Devin Butchko and senior Amber Yacenda
