Benedictine Mesa Women's Basketball has been selected to finish seventh in the 2025–26 GSAC Preseason Poll. The rankings, voted on by GSAC head coaches—who were not allowed to vote for their own teams—were determined using a weighted point system awarding 10 points for a first-place vote, nine for second, and so on.
The Redhawks open GSAC play at home on December 4th against Embry-Riddle. Last season, in their first year competing in the GSAC, Benedictine Mesa finished with a 6–8 conference record. Under the direction of fourth-year head coach
RaShawn Howell, the Redhawks return five key players and welcome a talented group of newcomers as they look to build on last year's success.
