Coach's Comments:
“When we recruited Erica out of high school, there were few other collegiate coaches banging on her door. Now, they want to know how we signed such a talented player. It’s simple. We won the recruiting lottery that year! Actually, Erica made us look like brilliant recruiters by improving in every practice and in every game. When she gets on the court, underneath that smile, she is all business. She has improved in every aspect of her game. I love it when players make us look smart!”
