With just one winning season in the past seven years, App State women’s basketball is entering 2020 with high hopes of turning the program around.
“During the pandemic, our staff did what I would call like an autopsy on our program,” head coach Angel Elderkin said. “How can we get better here, what do we need to do better here, how can we change a couple of things here.”
This offseason has been far from a standard offseason Elderkin and her players usually enjoy. With COVID-19, racial injustice, a presidential election and more surrounding the nation, the team has found a way to enjoy basketball and use it as a way to escape the outside conflicts in the world.
