• The Hoyas had extra time to train together this preseason after traveling to Spain for 10 days in August.  The squad played three games in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona.
• GU's top returner is captain Brianna Jones who was Georgetown's fourth-leading scorer a season ago and averaged 4.3 ppg as well as 2.9 rpg in 35 games played.
• At point guard, sophomore Nikola Kovacikova averaged 4.0 ppg and also played in all 35 games.  She managed 35 assists on the year.
