COACH CUNNINGHAM ON DAPHNE:

“Daphne will bring a great deal of speed and athleticism in the post.  She fits in so well with what we do defensively, and I love how coachable she is and how fast she seems to pick things up.  Daphne comes from a very successful high school and AAU program and knows how to win.   She has a bright future here in our program.”
