IN THEIR WORDS
Head coach Ryun Williams on Lena Svanholm:
"It's not every day that you sign a 6-foot-6, versatile wing. It's just something that we've never had here. We are super excited to have Lena join our basketball program. She's an outstanding young lady and an outstanding basketball player with a lot of basketball experience. Her experience on the Danish National Team will really help her be ready when she arrives on campus. We expect her to have an outstanding career as a CSU Ram."
