2016 Outlook

Head coach Margaret White enters her first year at Ursinus with a strong group of upperclassmen.  The veteran lineup in highlighted by three-time All-CC selection Porada. Porada, who scored over 20 points in seven games last season, will power the offense from the paint. A starter and key contributor since her freshman year, Polimeni's experience will steady the Bears on both ends of the floor. Roadcloud is the top rebounder returning for the Bears, while Shimrock adds versatility to the lineup with her ability to play on the perimeter. Ursinus has all the pieces in place to make its first playoff appearance since 2012.
