Obviously this will be a much different team without Paige. Her injury came far enough from the beginning of the school year that everyone will have enough time to process the fact that Paige will not suit up or play in any games this season. 30-35 minutes per game opened up for other players due to her injury.

No one will replace Paige. With that said, I do believe one or more role players will step up this year. The returning starters must be the leaders for this team. The newbies and the reserves must be ready to play game 1. We need the freshmen to play like seasoned juniors.

If UConn can go the entire season without any more season-ending injuries, they should be able to hold their own against anyone. Ducharme MUST step up and play at the level she did last year as a starter before her injury.

There’s too much talent on this team to let one player going down cause a complete collapse. Everybody eats. No excuses, get it done!!
