Verdi on Ferguson: "Lilly will bring some depth and strength to the wing position. Offensively, she can end line to end line and attack the basket. She is at her best when she is attacking in transition.”
Ferguson on UMass: "I chose UMass because I immediately knew it was the best fit for me. I felt as if this team was built on a strong foundation in which I could prosper on. UMass felt like my home away from home.”
