Coach Joe DeLeo's quote: "We're not going to go into her accolades, but no one is going to touch her numbers here for a really long time. She's the all-time leading scorer in the four years she was here in the state of Pennsylvania. I was recently asked to do a letter of recommendation for her, and I usually struggle with writing, but the words flew off the computer. It's really easy to write about her. Not because she's a great athlete, even though she is, but the difference with her is her leadership and her hard work. She never takes a play off. She works harder than anybody else."
