"With a different dynamic this year, it will be interesting seeing how their roles evolve.
Megan brings versatility and shooting in the backcourt and Jillian provides a strong, physical presence in the paint."Chief among the graduated losses for the Thunder Hawks is Teagan Epema, who is one of the best guards to go through Montevideo.
She was an All-Area Third Team pick twice. Epema piled up 1,214 points, a school-record 492 assists, 477 rebounds and a school-record 381 steals in her prep career.
