Coach
McCullers says:
"April
(Taylor) will make an immediate impact on our team. With Catreia (Shaw)
and Apryl (Brown) returning inside, we already had one of the conference’s
top inside combinations, but with April joining the mix, it will be even
stronger. She is a tremendous athlete with great speed and
quickness."
