COACH HERMAN ON THE CLASS:
 
"We couldn't be more happy with this group of ladies who have decided to sign with HCU. It's a talented group that addresses several immediate needs. Our staff once again did a fantastic job of identifying who and what we needed, and this group will make an impact right away for our program."
 
All five signees will join HCU in the Fall of 2025. The Huskies lose five seniors off this year's club: Tatiana Evans, Emerald Jacobs, Alexia Jones, Grace McLaughlin and Audrey Pearce. HCU has one match left in the regular season before heading to Hammond, Louisiana for the Southland Conference Tournament.
