COACH ADAIR SAYS
"Becca is a versatile inside-out player. She can stretch the defense with her ability to shoot the 3, but is also very skilled with her back to the basket. Becca's really focusing on being a physical presence inside to rebound the ball and give us extra possessions. Her IQ and her ability to be able to stretch that defense in the trail spot and stretch off pick and rolls will only benefit our team."
WHY DELAWARE?
"Many factors went into my decision to come to Delaware. When going through the recruiting process, I didn't have a specific school in mind that I wanted to go to, but as I toured more and more schools, it became clear to me what my preferences were. I love the size of UD's campus; it's not too big but not too small. It's also a beautiful campus and has a lot to offer. My goal is to become a physical therapist and the program at Delaware is top in the country so I knew that undergrad would prepare me well. The facilities are very impressive and when I first met the team, I knew they were a group that I would fit in with. Overall, I just knew that it was the right fit for me and I am so thankful I made the decision to go to Delaware as I have loved my experience here so far. I am extremely lucky to be in this basketball program with such an amazing coaching staff and support staff that are always willing to help in anything that we need."
