Quotables
“Averie is one of the best 3-point shooters in the country in her class, and her ability to stretch the floor will instantly elevate our offense. She’s an extremely hard worker, has a high IQ, and plays with a composed poise on the floor. I can’t wait to see her light it up on the court in Tempe for our Sun Devil fans.” - Molly Miller, Sun Devil Women’s Basketball Head Coach
"Averie is a fundamental swing guard with great size. Will shoot the three from anywhere! Spots up, puts on the floor, knows the game. She is a perfect fit for Coach Millers' style of play.” - Harry Elifson, Preferred Athlete Scouting Services
