COACH MOORE’S TAKE
“We’re excited to add Des to the roster. She’s a talented combo guard that checks a lot of boxes. She has the ability to score at all three levels as well as handle and distribute the ball. She’ll also bring play making skills to the defensive end and three years of Division I experience to the court.”
