Comments from Coach Jackson:

"Dana is our best 3-point shooter from last year's team. She has improved her consistency and has returned to the defensive form that made her our best on ball defender during her red-shirt year. We are excited by the wealth of Division I experience that she will bring to the floor for our team."
