WB2K23: Ohio University
The Ohio Bobcats hope to bounce back from a 15-15 season which ended in a first-round loss in the Women's National Invitational Tournament to South Dakota State. The Hale sisters are back in Athens, Ohio, looking for an opportunity to showcase their talents on the court. The sisters are guards from Cininnati. Kendall is a sophomore and Jasmine, a redshirt junior. Both have the ability to hit shots from long range. Much of the Ohio squad hasn't logged a lot of minutes on the floor but Caitlyn Kroll is a veteran who should be prominent on the defensive end. The 5-10 redshirt senior from Bridgeport, Ohio has collected 66 steals in 53 contests. She averaged 32.1 minutes per game in 2020-21 as she started in all of her 23 appearances.

Ngwafang blocked a season high five shots in a late season win over Detroit Mercy.
