Summary
- New head coach Brittany Batts takes over USC Aiken women's basketball
- Pacers have only 4 returning players, 10 newcomers on the roster
- Team plans to play fast-paced, high-pressure defense this season
The USC Aiken women's basketball program is undergoing a major transformation as the 2025-26 season begins. The Pacers have a new head coach in Brittany Batts, who was recently named the 2023-24 WBCA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year while at Gannon University in Pennsylvania.
Batts inherits a team that has only 4 players back from last year's squad, which struggled to a 6-22 record and finished last in the Peach Belt Conference. The Pacers have 10 newcomers on the roster, including 4 freshmen and 6 transfers from other programs.
Despite the significant roster turnover, Batts and the Pacers are excited about the opportunity to build something special. Batts plans to implement a fast-paced, high-pressure style of play that features shooters on the perimeter and an aggressive full-court defense. Junior guard Destiny Harman, the team's lone returning starter, believes the new-look Pacers can make a deep run this season and compete for a Peach Belt title.
