The Ramblers ended their season 8-15 overall and 5-11 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC).

The Ramblers had some strong individual standouts this year. Senior captain Andrea Boyle (Swarthmore, PA/Cardinal O’Hara) led the team in scoring with 301 points (13.7 ppg). Boyle was strong from beyond the arc sinking 42 three pointers and having a team and conference leading .519 three point percentage. Her percentage also broke the school record, which she previously held. In addition, Boyle was solid on the line with a .729 free throw percentage. She finishes her career with a lifetime 74.9 free throw percentage, a Rosemont career record.

The Ramblers also welcomed many new players to the team. First years Christa Bednarek (Philadelphia, PA/St. Basils), Karen Boyle (Swarthmore, PA/Archbishop Prendergast), and Emerald Robinson (Philadelphia, PA/Prep Charter) all had solid season. Karen Boyle opened up her account at Rosemont with 136 points this season. Bednarek was second on the team in assists with 48. Robinson scored in double figures this season in four games.

Rounding out the squad this year were juniors Emily Montanez (Philadelphia, PA/Frankford), Jordan Moon (Wilmington, DE/Sanford School), and Jessica Williams (Brigantine, NJ/Archbishop Carroll) as well as first year Amira Alexander (Philadelphia, PA/JR Masterman).
Though the Ramblers lose Andrea Boyle, the team is very hopeful and excited for next year’s season. Now that the Ramblers have a season under their belts and with all but one returning, next year’s prospects are looking bright.
