Head coach Darrick Gibbs: "When we recruit, we not only look for young ladies who are skilled and effective, but we also look for great people. I can say that Lauren and her family fit both categories!  Adding Lauren's size at the guard spot, along with her shooting and play making ability will be huge for our program. She will help us space the floor and open up slashing opportunities for others. She is a proven winner who is driven to be great! Both are qualities that are important as we look to take the next step in the growth of this program.
 
"Mainly a shooting guard, Lauren is a competitor. She's got a refuse to lose type attitude on the court and can really stroke the ball from the perimeter."
