🔼 Preseason Princess. The American Athletic Conference crowned Angeles Alderete the 2024 Preseason Player of the Year. She is the first player in program history to earn the accolade in any conference of which the Pirates have been a member. She was also selected to the AAC Preseason All-Conference Team for the second straight season.
