Santoro on Ridgeway: "Margot is a person and player I really liked during her recruiting process a few years ago, so the opportunity to bring her to NC State was a no-brainer. She's got all the tools of a top defender by being good on the ball, making good passing decisions, being strong on the tackle and having an aerial presence. She'll add a lot to our defensive group."
