Coach Johansson?fs comment: Gabriella transferred from AUM and played mostly at the #2 and #3 spots for them last season. She is a great addition and a quality #1 player that a team needs in order to compete with the best. Gabriella has a great personality and I am happy to have her on my team for the next three years. She currently has a 3.9 GPA.
