The team, led by Captain Danielle Long, has an interesting mix of personalities from UWI all rounder, Sherona Forrester to Bahamian new comer, Elvi Pinder and a host of new talented additions to the squad.  Beckford states that the squad is a dynamic and enthused about the upcoming season; he is very confident of their capabilities due to the intense preparation, the focus determination and mindset the players have undertaken since last term.
 

This year’s Pelican ballers are aiming for the Intercollegiate Championship title and Beckford believes they can do it as anything else will be deem as less than the team’s best. When asked about the future of basketball at the University, Beckford states that he is aiming to build a first class basketball program in which the teams would be able to compete at the top level against top universities. He believes wholeheartedly in the star potential of the players and hopes that this upcoming season can generate some buzz around campus about the sport.
