As much as the outgoing players added to the team last season, Northern is fortunate to return top-scorer Lexi Roe (née Wadsworth), along with guard Rianna Fillipi, last season’s NSIC North Freshman of the Year.Įntering her fourth year as a starter Roe comes off a season where she averaged 12.2 points through 13 games and shot 39.3 percent from the three-point line.

I don’t know if it’s things we have to do differently, there’s just things we have to do better, and it starts with me,” Krueger said.

Northern also had to do with ripples in the schedule with four canceled games due to COVID-19.
