The new Hounds, in alphabetical order, are Queen Baker, Linoi Biton, Taylor Farmer, Betul Gasgil, Kylah Lawson, Jaelynne Murray, Autumn Rucker, Amyrah Sapenter, Loria Snowden, and Heaven Thompson.
 
Six of the 10 newcomers are transfers, including Sapenter, who played 21 games in four seasons at NCAA DI Northeastern. Rucker also impressed in one season at DIII Benedictine, earning All-NACC Honorable Mention status in 29 games off the bench. The Indy native averaged 9.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.
 
Lawson spent two seasons at DIII Hanover College, starting all 26 games a season ago for the Panthers. Other notable transfers include Baker (South Suburban College), Biton (Eastern Wyoming), and Murray (Wabash Valley).
 
Three of the four incoming freshmen hail from the state of Indiana, with Thompson a graduate of Indianapolis high school Decatur Central. Both Farmer and Snowden also have experience as members of the track & field programs at Avon and Brownsburg, respectively.
