Bella Cherry, an OVC Player to Watch entering the 2024 season. The Trojans also return junior
Rylee McClintock, sophomores
Andrea Roman,
Dariana Valencia,

Mihaly Carmona.
New to the squad for 2024 are junior transfers
Polianna Hernandez (New Mexico JC) and A'lanae Margaritha (Polk CC), and incoming freshman
Lauren Foreman (Lakeside HS, Hot Springs).
The regular season gets underway Aug. 30 with the Trojans competing at the Lion Invitational, hosted by Texas A&M-Commerce. Little Rock's home opener is Sept. 19 against Central Arkansas and OVC play begins Sept. 27-28 when the Trojans host UT Martin.
