Dewey enters her fourth season with five returning players on a roster of Americans and international athletes. She wants a team that's “the toughest team in the country.” Freshman guard Madison McDonald says the group has bonded fast.

“Everybody's from everywhere, and yet we gel so well. We have four or five Americans, and everybody else is international.”
