"Over the last several years we have continued to recruit at a very high level," head coach Eric Faulconer said. "We have added nine players to an already deep roster, which should provide for the most competitive environment we have had here at Armstrong - which is saying a lot. We graduated four very experienced players, but we return almost our entire squad from 2015.

"Since winning the PBC in 2012, we have competed for the conference championship the last three seasons, but ultimately have fallen short. We want to get back to the top of the conference and make deep runs in the national tournament. Our goal remains to win a national title. We have been taking steps in that direction, but now is the time to ascend back to the top in our conference, region and the nation. I feel strongly that this class will continue to move us in that direction," Faulconer said. "I want to thank my assistant coach Kayley Ralton for the work she has done with this class. I want to thank our players, who continue to be great ambassadors of this university. Finally, I want to thank our administration, faculty and staff for taking the time to get to know each of the young ladies we bring on campus."
