After losing only two seniors, the women’s basketball team will return most of their key players this season. The team’s key guards that are returning are Makeba Ponder and Madison Newby.
The junior Ponder has led the Sun Belt Conference in three pointers made a game in each of her first two seasons at Georgia State. Ponder also led the Panthers in scoring her freshman season and is currently tied for the the most single season three pointers in school history with 69 in 2014-15. Newby led the Sun Belt Conference in assist and as a result was named the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year.
