2014 Summer: WNBA- Washington Mystics. Played in all three exhibition games and hit a pair of game-winning free throws against Indiana.
Scouting Report: Great rebounder and can defend 1-4 players….good 3 pt shooter. The most competitive player in school history according to her coaching staff. Plays with an extremely high intense motor. Very difficult to match-up against; too athletic for post to defend, too strong for guards to handle. Played the power forward position for UTEP but would likely play at a small forward in the WNBA.
