COACH ADAIR SAYS
"A tireless and committed worker, Bailey holds a high basketball IQ. Unfortunately we'll miss her this season due to injury, but I know she's going to bring leadership to our team. We're going to miss her 3-point production, but she's going to give her leadership and knowledge of the game where she can. We're looking for her to be that extra coach on the sideline."
WHY DELAWARE?
"I chose Delaware because of its unique culture and college atmosphere. I fell in love with the excitement around Main Street, a strong academic culture, and an athletic program that catered to its athletes and made us all feel like one big family."
