Coach: Mark Simpson (second year)

Last year’s record: 13-6, lost in Western C quarterfinals.

Returning letter winners: Seniors — Marissa Welch (5-11 center), Annika Durrell (5-7 forward), Megan Therrien (5-7 guard), Samantha Greenwood (5-3 guard); Juniors — Kathryn Ventrella (5-7 guard), Micaela Baron (5-5 forward), Britanny Packard (5-7 forward); Sophomores — Loryanna Tracy (5-3 guard), Ashlie Robbins (5-5 forward).

Key losses: Hannah Therrien (forward).

Promising newcomers: Sophomore — Lindsey Sirois (5-4 guard); Freshman  — Ladesta Tracy (5-3 guard).

Outlook:

The Andies return all-MVC players Welch (10.4 rebounds) and Ventrella (10.5 points, 25 3’s).  Livermore also returns seven others from a team that lead the MVC in defense (30.6 ppg). The Andies won’t be a deep team but has enough experience to put them in the playoff hunt again.

Coach’s comment:

“I will depend on my starters to play a lot of minutes and to play smart. As the youngsters develop, we should get better. We hope to build on last year’s success.” Coach Mark Simpson.
