Just like Coach Jackie said that we've had a pretty long preseason We've really been putting in that work really putting in that effort a lot of the teams been getting together creating a lot of great chemistry so it was a great opportunity for us to come out here tonight and For us to you know put it all out there and see see all that hard work that we've been putting in Yeah, and you guys also have a lot of important pieces last year with seniors like Olivia Coleman just an all-around great player How's it been kind of filling those roles this year at the beginning of the season? I think filling in those roles really has been from a lot of the great freshmen that we've had come in especially Kulia Winter She is you know they're starting five and she's been absolutely amazing to work with a lot of our other Freshmen are also post players They've also been putting in a lot of that work, and I really think that they're gonna help build a great program here It's good to hear good to hear lastly if you could shout out anyone who helped you along in your basketball career here If I had to pick anyone honestly would absolutely be coach Coach Boswell, you know Like she has actually been an amazing mentor to me Even you know the first three seasons of my career. I didn't get a lot of minutes on the floor but I trust her she trusts me and I've been putting in that work all you know all three years and you know this year I feel like I really have the opportunity to Showcase my skills and she trusts me to do that and I really appreciate her for that Yeah, it's an all-around great game tonight.
