"We are fired up to bring in the newest additions to our GW family," McCombs said. "We feel like we were able to find some outstanding young women who will represent the Buff and Blue on and off the court. Each individual will impact our program in a variety of ways, but we definitely filled some important positions on our roster for our style of play. My staff did an awesome job of connecting with this group, and we look forward to building our relationships while learning and growing together."
The four transfer student-athletes join a four-member first-year class that signed with the program in November - guard Leila Patel and forwards Andrea Daley, Sophie Haydon and Michelle Ojo. The 2021-22 roster is now available here.
