Different Bears, same dream: women’s basketball begins quest for a national championship

By Marquis Cooley | Sports Editor

A lot has changed within the Baylor women’s basketball team since losing to the University of Connecticut in the Elite Eight last season. Head coach Nicki Collen took over the helm after Kim Mulkey departed for Louisiana State University and former Baylor standouts DiDi Richards, Moon Ursin and DiJonai Carrington all left the program. Senior forward NaLyssa Smith said all the change isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though.

“A change isn’t always bad; change can be good. So I feel like a fresh start is good for everybody,” Smith said.
