Roulhac helped lead the Demon Deacons at the point guard position for the last four years. In 2009, she was a conference leader in assist to turnover ratio and was among the team leaders this season in 3-point shooting percentage. For her career, the Fayetteville, NC, native played in a total of 91 games and dished out 272 assists. Roulhac is planning to head to graduate school next fall.
Cain was also a four year letter winner hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio. She played in 63 games in her career and was named to the ACC Honor Roll all four years and was recognized as the squad's top academic performer each year. Cain graduated with a degree in health and exercise science and plans to attend the Wake Forest physician assistant program next year.

Her 234 career steals rank her third in school history and she recorded over 500 career rebounds. Morris is planning to pursue a career in digital art.
