Coach Wright on Mya:
"Mya Sopata is one of those recruits that at national tournaments you hear from coaches at top ten programs express how great she is. Mya is strong, she flies as an undersized middle and we'll be converting her to be a dominant pin attacker who can be versatile in the middle. Mya possesses a drive and competitiveness, mixed with joy that attracts anyone who watches her. We want to welcome her and her family."
