Coach Tool on Andrea

“Andrea comes into Northwest with a strong setting background and will be a back-up setter for us this fall. She will transition to a defensive role during the off-season and add depth to the team’s ball control. She has great hustle and intensity when she’s on the court and will be a great addition to the team.”
