BSU was out of action this fall due to the coronavirus pandemic, and most recently completed a 12-6-1 season in 2019. Along with the eight incoming players, Stone plans to return All-NSIC selections Sara Wendt and Megan Dahl. Allyson Smith, a 2018 all-region selection, will also return to the lineup after sitting out in 2019 for medical reasons.
