Let the Allison Pohlman era begin, although of all the coaching changes this doesn't really feel like a change.
The women have a very interesting non-conference schedule once again, with home games with Creighton, South Dakota, Iowa State, Northern Illinois, and Minnesota. Road trips against Iowa and Nebraska will also be of interest.
Drake has been picked #2 in preseason polls for the conference season behind Missouri State.
For the roster, if you didn't know Maddie Monahan tied the knot over the offseason and is now Maddie Peterson. Maddie and Hannah Fuller are using the extra year of eligibility due to COVID to come back. Grace Berg is on the preseason mid-major player of the year watch list. Long term we also have 5 freshmen on the roster. I don't know how many if any are planning to redshirt this year, and transfers are always a possibility, but if they can grow together we could have a very exciting and powerful roster in a couple seasons.

+x+xSouth Dakota State is a good team. Would like to see the home & homes with them come back. All things considered, I consider a run to the Sweet 16 of the WNIT a successful season. We should continue to develop well into next season. Agree and with the freshman with a year of experience I would agree. Looking forward to 2022 and 2023. The portal now serves as the magic 8 ball.... I didn't want to say it, but I would be lying if I said the transfer portal wasn't worrisome. I like to think the odds of everyone staying are good but you never know in the current era.
