ALBANY, N.Y. – Opportunities are plentiful for The College of Saint Rose women's basketball team this winter. With the departure of seven student-athletes from last year's squad, including the top-four scorers, every member of the Black and Gold has the chance to make an impact.
Â
Back for their final campaigns are senior guards
Cameron Graupman and
Takora McIntyre, and senior forward
Leah Dollard. Dollard is the top returning scorer, averaging 5.5 points last season. Graupman has the ability to knock down a trey, making a team-best 45.5 percent of her three-pointers, while McIntyre came up with 28 steals, second-most on the Golden Knights, in 2018-19.Â
Â
Junior forward
Nina Fedullo and sophomore guard
Becca Townes also return.
Â
Fedullo averaged 5.4 points and 4.6 rebounds last season, while Townes earned a spot in the veteran-laden rotation, playing more than ten minutes a night as a rookie.

th season at the helm, added five newcomers in: sophomore forward
Shamim Wambere, freshman forward
Naeva Rene, and freshmen guards
Isabel Sanchez,
