SCOUTING DE PAUL
DePaul returns veteran Kate Clarke and their number three scorer in Meg Newman from a year ago. The Blue Demons added seven transfers to their roster. DePaul fell to Xavier in the First Round of the BIG EAST Tournament, finishing the year 13-19 overall and 8-10 in conference play. Jill M. Pizzotti was named head coach of the Blue Demons in April of 2025 after serving on staff for 14 seasons, including 11 as associate head coach.

This season, the Blue Demons were picked to finish eighth in the 11-team BIG EAST according to its Preseason Coaches' Poll. Clarke was named an Honorable Mention for the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.

DePaul has struggled early this season, going just 3-8 during the non-conference portion of its schedule with victories over Valparaiso, Grambling State and UMass Lowell.
