Verdi on Ngalakulondi: "Angelique can rebound out of her area and score around the basket and in transition as well. She will compete on the glass and will give us second chance opportunities. Her and Maeve Donnelly in particular fill tremendous voids for us and I'm excited for both of these players as I feel that their best basketball is ahead of them."
Ngalakulondi on UMass: "UMass was a place I fell in love with right away during my official visit. Right away I got to do a campus tour and got to spend a ton of time with the team. The coaching staff and team are the best and I know I'll be in good hands. I fit in well with their personality and also their style of play."
