“Jas is a great slasher who can really get to the basket and score the basketball. She can score from the 3-point line and has a good mid-range jumper as well. She is a good on-ball defender, who disrupts opponents with her length. She comes from a very athletic family.”
Head coach Jonathan Tsipis
Why Wisconsin?
