    The team hopes to make a return trip to Diddle Arena, and this time come away with some hardware.
    With the loss of only one senior from last year’s squad, Shakila Goodin, the Lady Knights are fully loaded for another deep run into the postseason. Key new additions to the team will also help their cause.
