BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott women's basketball team opens up its 2023-24 season on Friday, November 10, as Coast Guard makes its way into MacDonald Gymnasium for the 6 PM opener. Here's a preview of the Gulls' upcoming season.

FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

• The Gulls return three of their top five scorers from last season's roster. The group includes Sarah Dempsey (Windham, N.H.), Libby Fleming (Bangor, Maine), and Katelyn Konareski (Milford, Conn.), who scored 386, 128, and 110 points, respectively, in the 2022-23 season.
• Endicott has punched its ticket to the CCC Tournament in 19 of its last 20 seasons heading into this year's campaign, highlighted by a CCC Championship in 2019-20 and a CCC Finals appearance in 2021-22.
