She can defend and is comfortable in the defensive role and one-on-one situations but can also attack and create attacking opportunities from the back. We look forward to her coming in and impacting our program during the next four years.”
Why did you choose Tech? From the first time I stepped on campus as a freshman at an ID Camp it felt like home – from the coaches, the facilities and the school, it immediately pulled me in.
