RUTHERFORD ON WALLACE: "Desiree will play the forward position for us. She brings outstanding credentials and experience to us from her junior college career. Although we have lacked depth at the forward position in the past, we feel that she can give us immediate help. Desiree has great one-on-one moves to the basket and will be counted on heavily for her rebounding abilities. We are counting on her to step right in and play for us."
