Bluffton women's preview:

A senior class that has combined to start nearly 100 games

The Bluffton University women's basketball team bounced back with 14 wins in 2019-20, earning a seventh consecutive berth in the HCAC tournament and advancing to the semi-finals before falling to conference-champion Transylvania.

Although TJ Mills is gone following a record-setting career for the Beavers, Bluffton returns starters at four positions heading into the 2020-21 season.
