[UPDATE] The Owatonna High School girls' basketball game for Monday November 30 against Mankato West is postponed due to the winter storm warning.

The Huskies welcome back a number of players with varsity experience, including senior Rachel Williamson, who missed most of last season due to a summer knee injury. As a sophomore she led the team with 15 points per game. Other seniors are Carli Langeland, Kirstin Pumper and Millie Wanous, who all played extensive minutes. Sophomore Sydney Schultz is a returning starter who averaged about 12 points per game. Juniors this season include Megan Peglow, Ari Buck, Maddie Seykora and Caitlin Anderson. Jenna Zeman is a sophomore. Tricia Hoffman begins her fourth season as head coach.

Graduates off the 2014-15 team were Sydney Kasper, Anna Edel and Madison Peglow. Owatonna compiled a 13-14 record last season, 13-9 in the Big Nine. OHS swept Mankato West (10-17, 9-13) in their two-game season series. Owatonna lost in the first round of the Section 1AAAA tournament to eventual champ Rochester Mayo.
