Coach Gallimore on Ward
"Shaela is a senior who needs to give us good minutes, and take care of the ball in the back of the field. We expect her to be a defensive presence. She is one of the older players on our team with that leadership and a great likability. She creates great chemistry on our team because she is very positive."
