Western Illinois University Athletics

According to Crane
“A quick as lightening point guard, DeeDee will frustrate teams in the full court with her defensive prowess and by her speed with the ball to the basket. Because of her experience at the junior college level, she stepped in immediately and made an impact on our team. She has a great feel for the game offensively and she will bolster our perimeter with athleticism and quickness.”
