Cardinal In The Spotlight

Danielle Dehning

Year: Freshman

Pos.: Center

From Coach Mannor: "Danielle is a student of the game and a very quick learner. Her soft touch and rebounding ability have already made an impact in her short career and we expect big things from her over the next four years.”
