Coach Bierly: “ I am really excited for Piper. She is our most improved player from last year. She has a great attitude and wants to win. She played behind an All-American last year and never really found her niche, but she has really turned the corner this year. She is very confident, and versatile. Defensively, she will probably end up guarding the other team’s best post player “
