We cannot wait for Dani to arrive in Blacksburg.”

We are delighted to have Lillie join our Hokie family.”

“Ashley’s blend of size, skill, and competitiveness will be a great addition to our frontcourt. She is the perfect inside/outside player for our up-tempo system. Ashley has a great feel for the game as an excellent passer. Her ability to stretch defenses with her perimeter shot and finishes around the rim will help us tremendously. We couldn’t be more excited to have her become a Hokie.”
