28 Wins. A WNIT Championship. The Winningest season in program history. Now a retooled roster. Juli Fulk’s program is raising the standard. This breakdown is powered by ShotTracker Scout. All player analysis and roster-fit data referenced here come from Scout’s AI-driven scouting platform.

Last season, Marshall Women’s Basketball accomplished something few programs ever do. The Thundering Herd’s win total jumped from 15 to 28 and from 11th in the Sun Belt to 5th. More importantly, Head Coach Juli Fulks established Marshall as a program built to sustain success, not just chase it. Fulks signed a multi-year contract extension to remain the leader of the Herd through the 2030-31 season. 

Now comes the next challenge. The roster looks different, but the expectations have grown.

Timaya Lewis-Eutsey was one of the most productive guards in the country last season, averaging 20.0 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.8 steals per game. She set the program’s single-season scoring record, but entered the transfer portal for her final season of eligibility. Marshall also lost significant perimeter production with the graduation of Peyton Ilderton and Meredith Maier. The duo started all 37 games and shot 36.3% and 35.1% from three-point range, respectively, in the 2025-26 season. Add in the departures of Timberlynn Yeast, Blessing King, Aarionna Redman, and TreShondra Williams, and Marshall is moving on from nearly 2,000 points, 800 rebounds, and almost 400 assists. 

Lewis-Eutsey’s move to Florida State, along with the departures of several key contributors in the 2025-26 campaign, marks the end of a memorable season. But the next chapter for Marshall is already taking shape. 

For many programs, that kind of turnover signals a rebuild.  Juli Fulks and her coaching staff attacked it differently. 

What stands out in ShotTracker Scout’s roster analysis is how intentional the Herd’s portal strategy was. Rather than searching for one player to replace Timaya Lewis-Eutsey’s production, Marshall has targeted specific areas of need. 

Maddie Moody arrives from Northern Kentucky after averaging 10.0 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. Her 66 offensive rebounds immediately jump off the page. She gives the Herd a proven and capable frontcourt presence. 

Cassie Gallagher brings another element Marshall needed to address. After losing Ilderton and Maier, the USC Upstate transfer arrives to fill the void of perimeter shooting. Gallagher shot 39.8% from three-point range last season, averaged 15.7 points per game and was named to the Second-team All Big South. 

Anaya Harris gives the Herd another versatile guard whothat will contribute on both ends of the floor. At Gardner-Webb last year, Harris scored 10.1 points per game and had 1.5 steals per game. Her ability to give opposing point guards trouble fits perfectly within the defensive identity Coach Fulks has instilled in her team over her first two seasons. 

Then there is Princess Cassell, a First-Team All-CCAA selection who shot 37.7% from three-point range and scored 12.7 points per game at Division II Cal State San Bernardino in 2025. 

The additions tell a large story. The Herd assembled a roster with proven flexibility, depth, and multiple players capable of impacting the game in different ways. The strongest programs are defined by systems, development, and culture. The pieces may change from year to year, but the characteristics that fueled Marshall’s 28-win season remain the same: toughness on the glass, defensive pressure, floor spacing, and a commitment to winning from top to bottom. 

The Bottom Line

Marshall enters the 2026-27 season with higher expectations than ever before. That’s what happens when a program resets expectations by winning the most games of all time and bringing home a trophy in the postseason. 

The Herd are no longer trying to prove they belong among the Sun Belt’s contenders. They’ve already done that. The challenge now is sustaining that success, and based on how Coach Juli Fulks and her staff approached this offseason, there is every reason to believe Marshall is positioned to do exactly that.
