""It's huge we have them. They're perfect fits here. Charlisse as a point guard has been great, and then just being a guard out there, a ready shooter, doing whatever we need, and obviously them being able to defend is really great for our team.""
""I look at the talent we have, especially on the offensive end, there are a lot of times where I don't have to shoot and force some of the shots that I would have to back at Washington State.""
Charlisse Leger-Walker and Gianna Kneepkens joined UCLA's women's basketball team, taking on reduced scoring roles to prioritize assists and defense. The Bruins, with a veteran roster, are aiming for a national championship after a strong postseason run. Leger-Walker, previously a top scorer at Washington State, now averages 8.7 points and 5.7 assists per game. Kneepkens, also a former leading scorer, contributes significantly to the team's success. The Bruins face Duke in the Elite Eight, seeking a return to the Final Four.
