"Brittani brings a wealth of experience to our backcourt and a leadership ability and work ethic that will help our group continue to compete for championships."

"Alana is a dynamic athlete and competitor who has the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. She has an ability to attack the rim and shoots the basketball at a high percentage. Her ability to rebound from the perimeter is uncanny and will be a tremendous addition to our backcourt. She has a willingness to defend and do all the little things that will impact winning in multiple ways for our group."
