First-year head women's basketball coach Mark Huelsman has been thrust into an unusual first season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the daily uncertainty surrounding practice and game schedules.
Huelsman does have some security in knowing that 11 of his 20 players return as letterwinners from last year's squad that went 20-7 overall and was third in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 13-5 league mark.
Sophomore Brynn Serbin (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) was named the OAC Freshman of the Year in 2020 and junior Lexi Jacobs (Wapakoneta) started all 27 games for the Polar Bears last season to lead the long list of returners.
