North Texas will be led this season by senior Tommisha Lampkin who is the leading returner in scoring and rebounds with 9.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game a season ago. Lampkin will be joined by eight other returners from last year's team and four newcomers, including two WBCA DII All-America transfers from Texas A&M-Commerce in Dyani Robinson and DesiRay Kernal.
