As the Mountaineer women’s basketball team climbs into the 2021-22 season, new faces bring new opportunities in the High Country.
“Like a lot of teams in the country, we look different, and with different comes an opportunity,” head coach Angel Elderkin said. “We have an opportunity right now to develop another group of leaders for our program.”
Last season, the Mountaineers captured their second winning season in the past three years, culminating in a narrow defeat in the Sun Belt Tournament semifinals.
After the 15-12 finish, six Mountaineers departed, four graduating and two transferring. Pre Stanley and Lainey Gosnell led the Black and Gold in scoring as the only two Mountaineers to average double digits.
