For this Pepperdine Women’s Basketball season, the ball is in the freshmen’s court. Of the 15 members on the team, 13 are underclassmen. Four of those underclassmen are freshmen: Lauren Craig, Hayley Duren, Barbara Sitanggan, and Becca Lazuka.

“We needed to reload and this is great, and I think we have a really good foundation,” Pepperdine’s Women Basketball Head Coach Ryan Weisenberg said. “Unfortunately, we’re a little young, but fortunately we’re a little young.”

While these first-years are not well versed in college ball yet, they’re no strangers to the game.
