2016 Outlook

Swarthmore enters the season with three returning starters in Jowdy, Deckard, and O'Neil. With her ability to impact all aspects of the game, Jowdy will be a key player for the Garnet and will play just about every minute this season. Deckard and O'Neil are versatile forwards that will help control the boards and hit 3's. Swarthmore also returns one of the top three point shooters in the Conference in Ackerman. The Garnet may not be ready to make a trip to the postseason this year, but Swarthmore will be a formiddable Conference opponent.
