  • TWU returns an experienced squad for the 2022 season. Two seniors - Paige Stuyniski and Bridgette Peterson - graduated after the 2021 campaign. The Pioneers' entire lineup from the MIC Championships and USAG Championships returns, and with the addition of six talented newcomers, head coach Lisa Bowerman starts the season with one of her deepest squads to date. 
  • Returners Madeline Gose and Isabel Goyco won individual USAG national titles, with Goyco claiming her crown on the floor and Gose winning on the vault. Goyco set a new career-high mark of 9.925 in the event, while Gose's 9.8625 was also a career high in the event.
