Reason I chose the Pirates:
"The reason I chose ECU is because I liked the atmosphere and the people. I also liked the opportunities ECU brings me in my upcoming future."
Coach Donnenwirth's Comments:
"Sadia is a very athletic player and she should compete for a spot in the back. At 5-10, her height will help us in the air."
