QUOTE FROM HILL:
"Ewa's character, personality, academic ability, athletic passion, physicality, and high basketball IQ helps us add experienced depth to our team in multiple areas. Her winning years at South Plains and her training during her scholastic years in Poland will enhance our growth internally beyond measure. As we were looking to create depth, Ewa was someone who had been on our radar for a while. We were unsure we were going to have a scholarship come available and when it did, we immediately extended the offer. We are so fortunate she felt comfortable and confident we were the best fit for her as well."
