"While Kayla is known as a shooter, she's much more than that. She's my crafty John Stockton. You think you know what she's going to do, but then she'll just go right by you. She just finds a way. Without having Bailey Kargo on the floor, I think that having Kayla really helps us to be able to consistently knock down the 3-point shot. Kayla is a fierce competitor with a very high basketball IQ. The "UD Way" is based on hard work, discipline, team and championships. Kayla embodies all of these qualities and more."
WHY DELAWARE?
"I chose UD because it has everything I could ever want, both academically and athletically. They know how to win and I want to be a part of that."
