Last season, the 6-foot-3 forward was looking on from the bench, watching her teammates work hard on the court while she sat out the season as a redshirt. This season, Dara Pearson has had her name called numerous times from head coach Cara Consuegra, providing great minutes off the bench on offense and defense.
“Dara has been tremendous all season long for us,” coach Consuegra said. “She’s been a great spark off the bench and what I keep saying is the thing about Dara is that she plays her role. She does what she needs to do and that’s why she’s been so successful.
