Coach K’s Thoughts:
“Desiree had a fantastic spring and has been named one of this season’s captains. Des is a very good athlete and the best runner on the team. She is a solid defender and can be very dangerous in transition. Although a quiet leader, she sees the field well and makes great plays by using her insight. She will be looked upon to help solidify the defense.”
