When junior guard Allazia Blockton was considering where to go for college, she knew one thing for certain: She wanted to play fast. As soon as women’s basketball head coach Carolyn Kieger delivered her recruiting pitch, Blockton knew she found a kindred spirit.
“Coach (Kieger) told me right away that we want to be the fastest team in the country,” Blockton said.
Fellow guard Danielle King got the same message. “I figured that if she was recruiting me, then she definitely wanted to play fast,” King said.
Kieger, who is entering her fourth year as head coach, has held true to both players’ expectations.
