“Laura Dally is one of those players who is a pleasure to coach and she is always looking to improve her game,” said head coach Brian Cheng. “The rare triple-double is a testament of her abilities when she is supported by her teammates. One of her teammates had to give Laura the ball for her to score. One of her teammates had to score when Laura passed the ball. All of her teammates had to help her out by boxing their checks out for Laura to grab rebounds. I am so proud of her achievements on and off the court!”
