Last season, the Lady Tigers had a bit of a rebuild after back-to-back Final 4 runs in 2020-21 and 2021-22. Commerce sees a new era come this year, as longtime coach Brad Puckett has left and Kevin Furtado steps in. This team had no seniors on the roster a year ago, so it’s a young team with experience coming back.
