Jovana Nikolic, 6-2, F, Fr. (DNP)
Olivia Borsutzki, 5-11, G, Fr. (0 ppg – 3 games)
Lika Kvirkvelia, 6-4, C, Soph. (1.7 ppg – 2023-24)
Julia Garcia, 5-7, G, Soph. (2.9 ppg)
Irune Orio, 6-2, G, Jr. (3.5 ppg)
Daniela Lopez, 5-10, G, Soph. (5.4 ppg)
Aizhanique Mayo, 5-9, G, Soph. (7.3 ppg)

Some significant losses here. The biggest name of the group is Mayo. She scored 27 points against DePaul in the Big East tournament opening-round win and was the team's third-leading scorer. She initially started her career at Marquette before transferring to Iona, then moving from Iona to Xavier when Coach Chambers took the job. She gained eligibility in the middle of the 2023-24 season as a two-time transfer and was hailed as an impact player for the program.

Orio started 20 games this season after transferring in last year from Sacramento State. Daniela Lopez and Julia Garcia Roig are both sophomores from Spain who were regulars in the lineup over their two seasons here. Lopez started 27 games over two seasons and Garcia Roig started 13 games across two seasons.

Kvirkvelia disappeared from the roster fairly early in the season without explanation. Nikolic and Borsutzki were never contributors.

If this is a final list (no idea), Meri Kanerva will be the key returner after leading this year's team in scoring at 11.2 ppg. The next top returner in terms of scoring average will be Petra Oborilova at 4.2 ppg. In total, the team would be returning about 20 ppg from this year's team.

Loren Christie (7.5 ppg), Tae'lor Purvis (6.2 ppg) and walk-on Jordan Miller have used all of their eligibility. With the seven players into the portal, that means the team will lose 10 players from this season and the roster is at four (plus two previously announced freshman for next year).
