    This is definitely a slightly upgraded schedule from last season. Perhaps more notable is that it appears last year's Big East All-Freshman team member, Fernanda Ovalle, is no longer with the program. The official release notes:

    Xavier returns three of its top five scorers from a year ago in Mackayla Scarlett (10.9), Taylor Smith (7.5) and Nila Blackford (6.3). Blackford also led the team in rebounding (5.5).

    We already new that Courtney Prenger transferred out (to FIU), and the other member of the top five scorers from last year was Ovalle. Ovalle was the first Xavier player to earn all-freshman honors since 2018.

    The 2023-24 roster isn't live on the site yet. Per wbbblog.com, Xavier has added two transfers for this season. Tay'Lor Purvis (5-7 junior PG) averaged 1.7 PPG for Houston last year, and Loren Christie (6-3 grad student center) averaged 4.8 points and 3.4 rebounds for San Francisco. It will be interesting to see the full roster later this summer/fall.
