PEORIA — New Bradley Braves women’s basketball head coach Chaia Meier got a clearer picture of the task ahead for her program when the NCAA transfer portal opened for women’s players on April 6.
More than 1,300 players entered the portal in the first 48 hours, among them four members of the Bradley team that delivered a 20-13 season and went to the WNIT.

Micah Cooper, a 5-11 sophomore guard, averaged 3.1 points per game and was the fourth player to leave.
