'Claire is perhaps the best pure athlete on our basketball team. She is one of a few players who has the ability and is asked to play both inside and out. She is a tenacious rebounder, excellent defender and has a knack for scoring in transition. She made some big improvements on her game this past season and I'm looking forward to seeing her in action.'
