Lauren Betts was close to averaging a double-double last season. She averaged 20.2 points on 63.9% shooting, 9.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.9 blocks in 30.1 minutes per contest across 34 games.

However, the Bruins will be without their head coach, Shannon LeBeauf, who sealed a move to the Rutgers Scarlett Knights. Betts shared a heartfelt message for LeBeauf, sharing some pictures with the head coach.

"Coach Shannon, you’ve been so much more than a coach to me. You’ve been my second mom, loving me unconditionally, guiding me through my lowest moments, and believing in me even when I couldn’t believe in myself."

"Your impact on my life goes far beyond the court. Thank you for helping me become the woman and the player I am today. Rutgers doesn't just get a coach. They get a leader, a light, and someone who changes lives. I love you forever."
