COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Julie is a very mobile post presence with perimeter range as well. She can finish effectively with both hands and is comfortable playing both in the high and low post as well as the perimeter. She is a defensive presence that can alter or block shots and is a very efficient rebounder.”
“… Selena is a productive combo-guard that is comfortable running the small forward position or the shooting guard. Great motor on defense and many times draws the opponents toughest match-up. Very good three point range, very effective getting to the rim or creating shots for teammates.”
