Tom Sanvik. "She is self-motivated and has a great work ethic that goes above and beyond her regular practices to become the best both on and off the court. She has been a person that always works hard, devotes extra time to a task/skill to get it right or become better and takes on extra responsibilities willingly. As a teammate, she has been our fighting spirt on the court and our biggest cheerleader when encouraging her teammates to keep going strong."
