Mitchell Says...
“Victoria is just a winner.
She competes every
day, every play and when you
match her tremendous athletic ability
with a tremendous desire to compete
and to win, you end up with the special
player that she is. She has a very
advanced game for a freshman meaning
that she is very good at a variety
of things offensively and defensively.
She plays great out of the pick and
roll already, which not a lot of
freshmen do, and makes very few
mistakes defensively. I am really
excited to coach her.”
