| Thoughts from Stefanie Pemper | It was quite a compliment for Taylor to be chosen to the Patriot League Rookie Team last season. Her class had a huge impact on our success and Taylor stood out from the get-to as a young player with confidence as a scorer. Taylor works hard on her game and on her conditioning and expects to be successful. It’s admirable. She is that unique kid whose love for the game comes out when she plays and is infectious. | Bianca was our captain at NAPS last year and her great determination to have an impact on our program at Navy led to a terrific preseason. She is a game-changer defensively, hits open 3’s and finds driving lanes well. Can’t say enough about her maturity and ability to handle adversity. It’s neat to see how she’s earned the respect of our returning players. Excited to have her on the team. |
