Coach's Comments: "It's been so much fun to watch Mariah over the past couple years develop and grow into the strong and confident player she is today. She will bring a big defensive presence at the net for us this fall, and will also be able to contribute offensively. Mariah is an explosive player that plays well above the 10'0 mark. Her ability to execute the ball is going to bring a lot to our pin positions, and her constant effort and energy fits perfect into the culture we're trying to build her at Western."
