Women’s basketball coaches have high expectations for 6-foot-2 freshman forward Myriama Smith Traore, with less than a week left until its first game of the season on Nov. 13 against New Mexico.
“Myriama’s gonna help us a lot,” head coach Carolyn Kieger said. “She’s one of those players that does the right thing every time.”
Kieger isn’t the only one to see potential in Smith Traore. Assistant coach Scott Merritt also said he believes she will be a great addition to this already successful team.
“I think Myriama will bring a lot of defensive toughness,” Merritt said.
