MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - After graduating three key seniors from the 2025-26 squad—Morgan Mahoney, Jillian Crawford, and Cydney Stanton—head coach Jennifer Smith and assistant coach Kiera Baughman focused on quality over quantity in this year's recruiting class. The Marauders add three transfers and one true freshman as they prepare for the 2026-27 season.
The Marauders' postseason run in the 25-26 Pennslyvania State Athletic Conference Tournament was brief but memorable, as they opened with a 64-61 first-round victory over East Stroudsburg before falling to Indiana (Pa.) in the quarterfinals. Millersville returns a strong core for the 2026-27 season, led by Carley Berk, who shot 37.9% from three-point range; Bryn Zentner, a force in the paint and on the defensive end; and PSAC East Freshman of the Year Daniella Ranieli.
The 2026-27 class includes Arianna Seitz (Clarion transfer), Skylar Curley (Penn State York transfer), Mariah Shue (Lock Haven transfer), and Emerson Seitz (Eastern York High School).
