Throughout the recruiting process, we experienced a mature, selfless and driven young woman who is excited to bring her ability to pass and kill balls to an NCAA-caliber team.

Although it will be a short experience, with just one championship season remaining, we know she will make a big impact on the success of our program.”

 “Hannah has been a great addition to our program. She is athletic, feisty, delivers a tempo ball, has experience running a 5-1 and, most importantly, she did it in the NCAA tournament! Hannah will immediately elevate our gym with her ability to run a high-level offense and compete in the setting position. We are excited to see what she brings over the next two years in our program.”
