COACH MOORE’S TAKE:
“We’re excited to have Adelaide join the Pack. Her ability to score the ball at all three levels and stretch a defense will be a welcoming addition. The work she has put in the past few years makes her more college ready than the average freshman, and I know the same work ethic will continue to raise her game and make us better.”
