The 2026-27 Marquette Women’s Basketball Season Preview: The Transfers

It’s time to continue our 2026-27 season preview for Marquette women’s basketball!

We’re moving forward with our look at head coach Cara Consuegra’s roster for this year. We’ve already rummaged around in what to expect from Halle Vice, and peeked under the hood at who else is returning from last year’s roster. Go give those a click to get caught up on things if you haven’t already, and heck, wander around in our entire season preview package if you haven’t done that, too.
