For the LuHi team, keep an eye out for Syla and Savanna Swords. They may not be ranked but they're key parts of this roster's success this season. Syla is also part of the Canadian contingent that will be part of the Nike Hoops Summit in April.

Note: According to the ESPNw preview article, Kennedy Ume will not be available for this game because she's attending a
U.S.A. Basketball Session, so those hoping to see how Ume and Lutheran's Kate Koval will be disappointed.

McDonough didn't have Umeh to guard her.
