I remember many times seeing Collier and Williams under the basket battling for rebounds surrounded by 2-3 opponents. She welcomes the contact. That is nothing new to her, that's how she has played for years. Remember during the summer when Christyn mentioned to us during a media interview how tough she was? Even associate head coach Chris Daley[B] said the same thing. [/B]We were blessed to see for ourselves exactly what they were referring to. She passes the "eye test" on toughness. How many offensive rebound/put backs has she had during the season? I noticed that her free throw shooting has improved drastically (34/52). The scary thing is she going to be so much better (stronger, more mature, more experienced and more aggressive) next year. Good for us, bad for our opponents. :) [/QUOTE]
