The Bulldogs return seven from last year's trip to the Big South Conference tournament, and welcome six new faces to the mix this season.
Preseason Honors for Ivie - In her first season as a Bulldog, Ivie made an immediate impact playing in 30 of the team's 32 games.

Ivie's best performance as a freshman came in the opening round of the Big South Tournament where she netted a season-high 20 points to help the 11th-seeded Bulldogs knock off North Carolina A&T.Â
