OU Women Retain Key Court Vets
OU women return eight from last year's conference champion squad and open Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Friends University and Rockhurst at the field house. New coach Debbie Johnston aims for a regional title and possibly nationals, with six starters and several inexperienced players. Injury risk to Edelen and limited scouting due to Johnston's KU studies are noted, while university support boosts recruitment and conditioning readiness for a demanding schedule.
