DENVER, Colo. – The Regis University Women's Basketball team opens their season this week with them looking to have a revamped year in many new faces.

A preseason breakdown of the team and additional information can be found below:

HOW LAST YEAR ENDED

The Rangers played to a 2-21 (2-18 RMAC) record this past season with their two wins coming against Westminster University and MSU Denver.

Despite being beaten 21 times, the Rangers saw six of those losses be decided by only 10 points or less with them also forcing overtime once on the road.

In the two wins, both were rather different with the Rangers dominating Westminster 80-52 in their first win of the season before then emerging victorious in the final game of the season by a score of 63-61 over MSU Denver.

Kate Gallery earned Second Team All-RMAC following the end of the season with her and Caitie Turnbow being named CSC Academic All-District.

Mary Crossland would also garner All-Academic Honor Roll in her Senior season.

THIS YEAR'S SCHEDULE

A total of 26 games are on the slate for this season with 14 of them being at home at the Regis Field House

In addition, the Rangers will also take part in two exhibitions against Division I schools in University of Denver and Wyoming University.

In breaking down of the games, there will be four nonconference matchups and two exhibitions to start the season before four RMAC games in the first half of the season.

The Rangers will play just two more nonconference games on Dec. 17 and Jan. 3 before the final 16 games will all be RMAC scheduled games.

Postseason play will begin after the conclusion of the regular season with the RMAC Tournament first round action beginning on March 2. The top eight teams from the conference will make the tournament with the conference tournament winner getting an automatic bid into the NCAA Regional Tournament.

THIS YEAR'S TEAM

Returners: 7

Newcomers: 8 (2 Freshman, 6 Transfers)

A total of 15 players make up this year's squad while returning just seven of last year's team including the group of Emily Allison, Caitie Turnbow and Savanna Staff who appeared in over 75% of last year's games and all recording over 300 minutes played.

Turnbow leads the bunch as she averaged 8.9 points and 5.4 rebounds a season ago while Allison added 7.4 points per game and Staff recorded a total of 26 assists.

The others to return feature Alicia Barajas, Payton Terry, Danielle Smith and Josie Lynch. Smith was the only one of that group to not see the floor last year after missing time due to injury.

For the newcomers, there are just two freshman on the team with six others joining via transfer.

The six transfers include Aliyah Herron (North Platte CC), Sophia Lee (Sacramento State), Bel Peterson (Indiana University Pennsylvania), Saulele Tanuvasa (Northern Colorado), Olivia Frankel (Wingate) and Bri Bowden (MSU Denver).

The two new freshmen are Reese Crosby from Highland Park, Illinois and Lauren Carlsen from Bennington, Nebraska.

Overall, there are two different countries and eight different states represented on this year's team with just six of them hailing from Colorado.

COACHING HISTORY

Head Jason Kohler returns to lead the Rangers in his second season at the helm after being named the program's sixth head coach in program history in October of 2025.
