A slow start gives way to home‑court strength
The season began with a 1‑5 stretch, but the squad turned the tide in November, winning three straight games and finishing December 4‑1. That mid‑season surge propelled the team into the conference playoff picture and set the tone for a resilient finish.
Home games proved to be a sanctuary, where the team posted an 11‑5 record and Coach Tom Robbins repeatedly praised the crowd's energy and the players' confidence in their own abilities.
Stars of the season
Sophomore forward Allie Caldwell emerged as the offensive engine, averaging 18.7 points per game and earning Second Team All‑Conference honors. Freshman Sincere Coleman‑Francis contributed immediately, landing a spot on the CCAC All‑Freshman team. Point guard Audrey Tallent anchored the defense with 66 steals, ranking third in the league.
Looking ahead
Coach Robbins is already charting a path toward 20 wins next season, citing the blend of youthful talent, hard‑earned confidence, and the experience gained from a tightly contested schedule as the foundation for a deeper playoff run.
