As many, including our own Tristan Jung, predicted, last year did not got too well for the Northwestern women’s basketball team. The Wildcats finished 12-20, with a dismal 4-12 conference mark. But most of the rotation players from last year are back — just two contributors from last year’s squad, backup center Oceana Hamilton and injury-prone three point specialist Lydia Rohde, graduated.
The team adds not only a solid recruiting class headlined by top-100 guard Sydney Wood, but returning guard-forward Amber Jamison, who took last year off for personal reasons. As most of the Big Ten seems set for a transitional year, Northwestern may have a chance to surge up the standings.
