Wray begins her UMBC coaching stint after a five-year hiatus from the collegiate coaching ranks. The Retrievers return 10 starters and 12 letterwinners from a year ago, including 2011 America East All-Conference Second Team honoree Rachel McKee, who tallied a team-best seven goals and 14 points last season.
