Marcum declined to name starters, citing lack of outdoor preparation and the cancellation of NP’s first three games.

What’s New: Lehman, an Indiana recruit who missed 14 games last season with a leg injury, moves from second base to shortstop. Addi Clouse takes over for Lehman at second. Sophomores Brittany Duncan (center field) and Macey Hutchinson (pitcher) as well as freshmen Issy Hoyt (third base), Casey Lehman (catcher) and Abby O’Connor (utility) are varsity newcomers to watch.
