Coach Dan’s comments: “Karissa comes from a powerhouse program in Colorado, so she knows winning. Many of her teammates are playing college ball, so she's used to competing at a high level. She will be a strong inside-out player for us, and we're excited to see what she will bring to the court. It's exciting to expand the door in our recruiting as well.”
