COACHING STAFF ON ADDING KENNA

  • "Kenna will be a great addition to our squad. She's a tremendous athlete with a great skill set. She's a dynamic attacker and blocker with outstanding explosive movement. In addition, she's a great passer and tremendous defensive player. Kenna is a great student and like Leandra (Mangual-Duran) and Claudia (Dillon), a great person and competitor. We expect all three signees to compete for playing time immediately."
