It was ASU's fourth-consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament, but 2017-18 leaves little to build on. • With the departures of go-tos Sophie Brunner and Quinn Dornstauder, no seniors on the roster and four newcomers, Charli Turner Thorne will need to determine who can !ll their roles. • The only two starters returning are sophomore Reili Richardson and junior Sabrina Haines. Richardson led the team in assists last season, was the team's third-leading scorer (and highest-returning scorer) and was named honorable mention Pac-12 All-Freshman team. She was also selected to the USA U19 World Cup team and that experience will elevate her play. • Haines averaged just a half a point less than Richardson and was in the top-three on the squad in assists and steals. With her experience, she looks to take on a greater role on the team. • ASU welcomes two freshmen and a pair of transfers. Among the transfers is junior Courtney Ekmark who lands in Tempe after spending two seasons at Connecticut. Her experience winning two national champion- ships at UConn will serve a young squad well. • Top-100 recruit Eva Rubin is a 6-5 center, one of the two freshmen joining the team, and should make an impact.
