Both Rachel and Kristen became official UB Bulls when they signed National Letters of Intent on Wednesday November 11th, 2009. They will join our team during the '10-'11 season.
Rachel, a versatile player, who can play the 3 and 4, is from Olean, NY. She is this coaching staff's first New York signee. Rachel will assist in bringing in more NY recruits, as she already bleeds blue. When not on the court, Rachel is competing in the pool. We know that she will help our team on the court and during those pre-season pool work-outs!
Kristen, a physical post player, who can face and play with her back to the basket, is from Manahawkin, NJ. She has a knack for scoring and rebounding the basketball. Kristen can be found catching the waves on the Jersey Shore when she is not on the hardwood. The coaching staff will be first in line for surfing lessons!
Welcome, ladies...We are excited that you have chosen to be UB Bulls!
