With seven fresh faces to lead the program (five first-years, two transfers), Sacred Heart will leave on veterans such as Allyson Murphy, Olivia Dabney and Nikki Johnson. In Sacred Heart's season opener, Johnson scored a career-high 25 points to go along with a career-high five steals, five rebounds and four assists, however the Pioneers fell to Seton Hall by a score of 95-69.

In addition, redshirt sophomore Jaylen Hines also finished in double figures with 10 points and seven rebounds, and freshman Sorelle Ineza rounded out the top-three scorers with eight points, three rebounds and two assists.
