Morris is back for her second and season and is the team’s leading returning scorer at 15 points per game. She played a big part in last year’s team that went 26-6 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, earning second team All-SEC postseason honors last season.

Reese is one of nine newcomers to the team and is considered one of the most dynamic players in the country after playing two seasons at Maryland. She was ranked by ESPN as the No. 1 impact transfer after averaging a double-double (17.8 points and 10.6 rebounds). She earned multiple All-America honors and led the Terrapins to a Sweet 16 appearance.
