Despite the loss of first-team All-American Lynn Williams and first-team All-Region Ally Holtz from the squad, the Waves return a good portion of its young talent, including three players who garnered all-region honors and five who made the All-WCC list, including WCC Freshman of the Year Hailey Harbison.
