Keep an eye on Colorado College this year. Bringing back Zoe Tomlinson (All American), Healy Bledsoe, Kayla Mackel and 2 outstanding freshman from last year (Isa Nelson and Rose Kohler) all starters from the previous year. Plus getting back Laura Strenk from an ACL (didn't play last year) and Andie Will (injury...didn't play much last year). Both were standouts in 2022-2023 season. Should have a solid squad. Maybe not Top 30 yet, but this team could be there early on next year.

Love the articles on D3 Women's basketball. Thanks!

Hi Eric! Thanks for the note. That is a great point on Colorado College. They're definitely on my short list of teams that didn't make the Top 30 but will be in contention for a spot on my preseason ballot. Tomlinson is an incredible player, and it will be excellent for them to have that added depth with Strenk and Will that they didn't have last season. They're always a fun team to watch, and considering TLU brings back several as well, the SCAC could be a tough 3-team race. With NPI, it's possible the league gets 2 teams into the tournament, so we'll see how that plays out. Thanks for following along and for your support of D3 WBB!
