Leading the returning group is rising junior guard Joan Quinn, who emerged as one of the Atlantic 10's top all-around performers. Quinn averaged 11.2 points per game, ranking 24th in the conference, while also finishing 13th in assists (2.6).

Kiara Williams returns after starting all 35 games and delivering a career-high 24 points in La Salle's WNIT contest against Army. She finished ninth in the Atlantic 10 in field goal percentage at 46.3%.

Amiya Moses made a major impact, particularly on the defensive end as the Explorers surged into postseason play. Moses ranked fifth in the Atlantic 10 with 1.3 blocks per game and tallied a career-high six swatted shots against Dayton.

Redshirt sophomore guard Lauren Patnode took on an increasingly important role as the season progressed. She logged 20 or more minutes in each of La Salle's final 10 games, highlighted by a perfect 3-for-3 performance from beyond the arc in the Explorers' WNIT victory over Binghamton.

Also returning for the Explorers are rising sophomores Ava Hoy, Jana Mbombo Njoya, India Webb, and Charity Sawyer, each of whom gained valuable experience in year one.
