Coach: Ray Convery (26th year)

Last year’s record: 8-10

Returning letter winners: Seniors —  Sasha Flaherty (5-6 forward), Kelsey Nason (6-0 forward), Nikki Scott (5-4 guard), Sarah Warner (5-3 guard); Junior — Amy Belanger (5-5 guard/forward); Sophomores —Lorin Bryant (5-7 forward), Shauna Carlson (5-8 forward), Breana Cox (5-6 forward), Jessica Scott (5-4 guard).

Promising newcomers: Freshmen — Alyssa Arsenault (5-4 forward), Randi Dennett (5-4 guard), Kim Hofferberth (5-6 guard/forward), Cat Ouellette 5-0 guard).

Key losses:  Michelle Lough (forward), Katie Michelson (forward), Kelsey Ouellette (guard), Alex Veilleux (guard).

 Outlook:

 The Ramblers lost some regulars including Ouellette, an all-conference pick. Winthrop doesn’t have great size but should be solid defensively.  Scott is a proven ballhandler and force in the backcourt and could help lead the offense. Nason showed promise in the post last year. The Ramblers should still be a solid club but will need a number of players stepping into larger roles.

Coach’s comment:

“Our numbers may be down, but we feel we can be competitive in a very competitive league.” Coach Ray Convery.
