Coach: Jim Wiedie is entering his second season as the head coach of the Oilers

Outside shooting threats Ciara Keiger and Karli Bonar are also back. Geiger, a senior guard, averaged 10.2 ppg and made 35 treys while Bonar, a sophomore guard, knocked down a team-leading 60 3-pointers. Senior forward Lacey Kessler, senior point guard Kristin Klausing  and senior guard Nikki Gunning also have experience and will be counted on to step up if UF is going to have a winning season. Kessler averaged 8.0 points per outing and tallied 37 steals The Oilers have added a cast of talented freshmen as well, including Haley Horstman, an all-state player who was the MVP of Ohio’s North/South All-Star Game.
