Coach White says - "Yasmin is coming off a tough year with shoulder surgery last fall. It has taken a year for her to get back that big return and ability to nail groundies that make her nearly impossible to deal with. With unbelievable foot speed and the ability to hit a winner from any part of the court, it will be tough for anyone to stay in the court with her. The leadership on and off the court Yasmin provides will be key to her goal of a team postseason bid."
