It’s Robert Morris’ league to lose. With the pickup of Ace Valentine from UMBC and Jalik Dunkley from Nicholls plus the return of Darius Livingston Jr., head coach Andrew Toole has put together one of his best rosters to date. That is not to say that other programs are not out of the running, though, with teams like Wright State, Green Bay and Milwaukee looking dangerous as we inch closer to the start of the season. The Phoenix are waiting on some court cases to go their way before they can truly vault themselves into contending status.

Green Bay is the defending conference and tournament champion after going 17-3 in conference play last season. However, the Phoenix lost a majority of their roster, leaving yet another conference question mark heading into the season. Youngstown State finished two games behind Green Bay, finishing with a 15-5 conference play record and losing in the conference championship. Danielle Cameron provides solid shooting. Sara Baker has a strong frontcourt presence. Erica King will lock down the frontcourt, and Paulina Hernandez has size and versatility inside. All these pieces make the Penguins a strong contender. Robert Morris can also be a contender after going 11-9 in conference play last season. Mackenzie Blackford is a big transfer for Robert Morris after averaging 10.6 points at Duquesne last season. Similarly, Marshall transfer Timberlynn Yeast was named to the WNIT All-Tournament Team last season. If their strong returners and transfers mesh well, Robert Morris can be a big sleeper in the Horizon.
