"Brielle was a dynamic scorer and could score the basketball at all 3 levels in our conference. She has an elite basketball IQ. She continued to improve on the defensive end all season and could really anticipate well on the defensive end.

I am excited to see her continue to have success at the 4 year level," commented Head Coach Ashley Martin.
