Coach Middleton Says
As the year went on, Jenny became a really big three-point shooter and is only going to get better. She had almost a two-to-one assist to turnover ratio so her ability there has gotten so much better. She is definitely the leader out there on the team. She works tremendously hard and she leads by example. No doubt she is going to be a much-improved scorer for us this year and we are going to look to her to shoot the ball more.
