"To be a part of the long tradition of success of Illinois State women's basketball and to work with coach Glance, who has such a depth of knowledge and experience, truly is an exciting opportunity. The support of women's basketball by the university, athletic department, and community is unmatched, and I look forward to contributing to the continued success of this program."
