From Coach Cherise Galasso:
Knowing you are there to support us makes a bigger impact than you can imagine. Knowing there is this legacy of people who are rooting for us, want to know us as people and want to share in our journey gives our players an incredible lift.
Year in and year out we strive to be a highly respected, model program in everything we do. This requires a high level of commitment to excellence academically, on the basketball court, and in serving the WPI and Worcester communities.
We continue to have a championship-level culture driven by genuine relationships, support, accountability, and hard work while providing positive experiences on and off the court to develop successful habits and memories that last a lifetime!
Looking forward, our goals this year are to compete for the NEWMAC Championship and make a lot of noise in the NCAA Tournament. Along the way we are gunning for our 9th consecutive Worcester City Championship as well.
An additional goal for our program is to fundraise to take the team on an international training trip. Not only is this an incredible life experience for our student-athletes, but it also allows us the opportunity to train and compete at a high level while experiencing a different culture.
Meet Adrianna Niles ‘25:
“Being a part of the women’s basketball team has positively impacted my time here at WPI. Not only has it provided me with a second family, but it has also allowed me to grow exponentially as a person. Our team is rooted in high values which include trust, communication, accountability, and effort. Through playing basketball, I have developed into a capable and determined leader with championship-level habits. I am excited to continue to grow and compete alongside my best friends playing the game we love!”

Year after year, we have called on your generosity in supporting our student-athletes. And as every time before, we knew the teams could count on you.
With more than 1020 donors and over $192,000, your commitment has blown us away once again. Without a doubt, what you have achieved here this week will provide transformative support for WPI Athletics. You are the GOAT!
Stay tuned for additional thanks from the teams and final tallies next week. For now, rest assured that they have received your message loud and clear—you are someone who cares deeply about our student-athletes and who believes in them as they work toward their ambitious goals on and off the field and court.
It simply means the world to have you in our corner. Thank you.

We are in the final hours of GNGC2024 and appreciate all the support so far! Please help us reach our goal of at least $175k, as we demonstrate how important WPI Athletics means to all of us with our collective impact. If you’ve given already - thank you! and please help by reaching out to others and encourage their participation.
And when giving (or giving again!), please consider the WPI Athletics General Fund that helps all 600 student-athletes and our 18 teams with their care and performance development.
Go Goats!!
