Wojta was a second round draft pick, taken No. 19 overall. Casas was signed as a free agent. Both made good impressions on coach Cheryl Reeve and her staff, but the team opted to retain nine players from last year's team and keep only two new players.
The additions are veteran guard Erin Thorn and 6-2 rookie forward Devereaux Peters, the No. 3 overall pick in the WNBA draft last month.
The Mavericks defeated Columbus State in the semifinals and will be the first NSIC team to play for the title.
