The Chicago State women's basketball team is set to kick off the second season of the
Tiffany Sardin era, and the new-look Cougars face a road test against the Wichita State Shockers to start 2021-22.
"This is a completely new team," Sardin said. "The way they look out for each other is fun to coach and be around. We all know that team chemistry and that connection will help us on the floor."
In addition to two new assistant coaches (Tiffany Conner and Diana Martinez) to join second-year assistant Nan Moore, the Cougars' 2021-22 roster features eight newcomers. Click here for the full 2021-22 preview.
