Making up for the loss of four key players from last year’s regular season Mountain West Championship team is Colorado State head coach Ryun Williams’ current challenge.
The CSU women’s basketball coach lost two of the greater players in program history with the graduation of point guards Gritt Ryder and AJ Newton, as well as a knock-down 3-point shooter in Hanne Mestdagh and a lock-down defender in Victoria Wells.
Ryder led the team in minutes per game (34.8), assists (10.7 per game), assists (5 per game) and steals while also serving as the primary ball-handler.
