SCOOTING COFFEE
- Brown will begin his second season as head coach Monique LeBlanc and will look to build on a six-win campaign from a season ago.
- The Bears return their top six scorers from last season, incl Isabella Mauritius (14.4 ppg) and Kyla Jones (12.9 ppg) who both averaged in double figures last season.
- Mya Murray is back to anchor Brown’s defense after finishing last season with 5.9 rebounds and a team-high 32 blocks at six points per game.
- The Bears lineup features eight new players who will look to make an impact on what is still a young roster under LeBlanc.
- Jones will look to remain active on the defensive end of the court after leading the Ivy League in steals last season with 65.
