What can we expect this season from the Lady Rebels and head coach Kathy Olivier?
A few roster changes and a difficult schedule ahead could lead to a slow start for the Lady Rebels. It’s something to expect, as the team will have to adjust to losing leading scorer Dakota Gonzalez.
The 2016 season finished with a 22-11 overall record after falling short to Colorado in a WNIT first round loss. Shortly after the end of the season, the program announced West Virginia transfer Bailey Thomas as a new addition to the team.
Thomas, 5 feet 9 inches, will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules, leaving her with three years of eligibility remaining after playing her freshman season for the Mountaineers last year.
