After the Baylor Women’s basketball season ended with a 94-85 overtime loss to Mississippi State in the Elite Eight, the program has been imbedded with change, first with the transfers of three players, including sophomore Beatrice Mompremier, graduation and pursuit of professional dreams by Alexis Jones, Alexis Prince, Nina Davis and Khadijah Cave.

Not all Division I seniors get the chance to play professionally, but Lady Bears basketball players Khadijah Cave and Nina Davis and softball player Lindsey Cargill have at least been granted the opportunity, as Cave and Davis signed contracts with the LA Sparks and Cargill was drafted by the Texas Charge.

Sophomore post Beatrice Mompremier highlights a series of recent roster changes surrounding the Lady Bears as guards Alyssa Dry and Alexandria Gulley have also announced they will not return next season.

Even though both of Baylor’s basketball teams had their seasons end over the weekend, the Associated Press awarded junior forward Johnathan Motley, redshirt senior guard Alexis Jones and sophomore post Kalani Brown All-American accolades on Monday.

The Lady Bears trailed for the majority of the first three quarters but used a 20-4 run, fueled by sophomore post Kalani Brown’s career-high 35 points to storm back and beat Texas 70-67.
