Coach Wright on Kyla
"Kyla will make an immediate impact in the gym. She's competitive, confident and driven. More importantly, she brings high-level offense and blocking capabilities. Our culture is where she will thrive and we cannot wait for her to get here with us. We've had three-straight years in which additions from the transfer portal have proved to be tremendous upgrades within our gym. Kyla will certainly be a force in the ASUN and beyond." -- Head Coach Kristen Wright
Why UNF?
"After amazing conversations with the coaching staff and connecting with the team, I found that UNF was everything I was looking for. During my transfer process, I made it a priority to find a program where I could build great relationships and reach my potential as a player and as a person. I am very excited to finish my last few years of college as an Osprey and I am incredibly grateful." -- Kyla Solis
