In head coach
Erin Dickerson Davis's first season, the Tribe women matched a program-record with 12 CAA wins on the way to 18 total victories. The Green and Gold was the No. 4 seed in the conference tournament and advanced to the semifinals of postseason play for the sixth time in program history—defeating Hofstra in the quarterfinals. W&M returns a pair of starters from a season ago in senior
Rebekah Frisby-Smith and sophomore
Alexa Mikeska. The Green and Gold welcomes six newcomers, including a trio of transfers in graduate student
Nylah Young and juniors
Bella Nascimento and
Anahi-Lee Cauley.
On the men's side, W&M's 7.5-game improvement last season ranked second in the CAA and among the top 30 in the country. Head coach Dane Fischer's squad advanced to the quarterfinals of the CAA Tournament behind a 73-51 win over Elon in March. W&M returns a trio of starters in juniors Gabe Dorsey, Noah Collier and Matteus Case and nine letterwinners from the 2022-23 season. The Tribe roster includes five newcomers, including a trio of transfers in graduate student Sean Houpt, junior Caleb Dorsey and sophomore Trey Moss.
