How aggressive she is on defense. How hard she competes. How difficult she makes it for opposing point guards with her tenacity and grit. Then you throw in that she has become someone you have to guard on the 3-point line, because she is going to make just enough of them to make you disappointed you didn’t guard her. And she has a little bit of an attitude. She has a little bit of an edge. I’ve never seen a great player that didn’t have it. She has it, and I love that about her.” Early on, preseason and early in the season, a few on The Boneyard had already written Nika off or delegated her to at best a role player. Several of us either through what we'd seen online or through statements made by Geno as to the obvious potential he saw in her, believed she would be a wonderful Husky player. Over the last few weeks many of the early critics have expressed that they were wrong and have applauded what she has brought to the team. I am so happy for her and for the team that she has made the adjustments and put in the work to be able to be part of a special group of young women heading into the push to bring home #12. [/QUOTE]
