"Olympia will offer yet another different dimension to our team,"
said VanDerveer. "She is a very good defender, an excellent rebounder, and is
quick enough to be able to guard the opponent's point-guard. I expect her to be
as good an offensive rebounder as she will be defensively. She may need a
little work on her offensive moves, but I expect those to come along. One thing
she can do is leap."
