WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The fourth season of the Megan Gebbia era is set to start Monday night as the Wake Forest women's basketball team is set to play host to Radford for a 5:00 p.m. tip at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The Demon Deacons have eight new players to the team for the 2025-26 season in transfers Raven Preston from Elon, Mary Carter from Cal Poly and Grace Oliver from Colorado. The Deacs also bring in a promising group of five freshmen in Opal Bird, Milan Brown, Grace Galbavy, Caitlyn Jones and Savannah Metcalfe.

They led a strong three-point attack. Radford led the Big South with a 34.2 three-point percentage last season which also ranked 63rd in the country while their 7.5 threes made also led the conference last season.
Tipoff for Monday is scheduled for 5 p.m. (ET) at LJVM Coliseum.
