Coach
Middleton Says
She is the tallest female player in the conference at 6’7
and that has ever been at SBU. Sara is one of those that is
going to have a great opportunity to learn from the best in
Mercer, Smith, Hancock, and Jones. She is going to learn a
lot from them and bring a lot to us. She is going to be difficult
for opponents to defend. I think the other thing is that she
is a very good rebounder. She has a nose for the ball also
and that is one of the reasons we brought her in. We felt
she has the ability to help our rebounding a whole lot. Last,
but not least, is her ability to block shots. I believe she
has the ability to block a lot of shots and will cause some
shots to be missed just because of her size.
