Quote from Head Coach Brandon Lokken on Carson: "Carson is a talented scorer who is coming off a very good two years at Rock Valley CC. Her shooting combined with ability to finish around the rim will fit well in our system. When we were recruiting Carson you could tell she loves basketball. We are excited to add her offensive skill set to our returners."
