Coach Ty's Take on Dominique
"Dominique is that 5'11 "Swiss Army Knife" that every winning team has in that she just impacts the game in so many ways. She is an experienced player who will be counted on for leadership and direction from day one as she can play any position on the floor and will assist our young players as they get acclimated to college basketball. She comes from a similar system defensively at East Carolina where she was among the league leaders in steals and she can score and facilitate for others which will help us immensely as we look to improve our pace and efficiency offensively. Dominique is the perfect "fit" for us on and off the court and we couldn't be more happy that she chose to #PressPlay."

Coach Ty's Take on Sierra
"Rebounding and defense are cornerstones of success for any basketball program at any level and Sierra McCullough epitomizes those two traits in a player. Sierra brings immediate collegiate experience and a physicality that's necessary to compete in the Ohio Valley Conference. At 6'2, Sierra possesses the size to give us that inside post presence that we need and she plays with a "motor" that compliments our #PressPlay style. Sierra fills an immediate need and her impact will be felt on both ends immediately."

Coach Ty's Take on Lacy
"Lacy Robins is the consummate "2 way" player that impacts the game in a multitude of ways. She has a unique skill set in that she is a 6'0 lead guard with the ability to create for herself as well as others. Her length and anticipation skills on defense are a perfect match for the style we employ. She brings a versatility to our team that will give us options on both sides of the ball that will have a positive impact on the future success of our team. Lacy's potential is unlimited and we are excited to welcome her to the #PressPlay family."
