But the Wolfpack bring back their other four starters, led by rising junior center ELISSA CUNANE, who was tops in scoring (16.4 points per game) and rebounding (9.6 rebounds per game). Rising seniors Kayla Jones (10.0 PPG, 7.1 RPG) and Kai Crutchfield (7.5 PPG) and rising sophomore Jakia Brown-Turner (9.4 PPG) also return. Brown-Turner and Jada Boyd were two of the top freshmen in the ACC this past season.
