Coach Verdi on McCoy: "Asia is a big scoring guard who has the potential to be a scoring machine in the Atlantic 10. A natural scorer, Asia can create for herself in one-on-one situations or in the open floor."
McCoy on UMass: "I chose UMass because of the family-like environment. Upon entering campus, all the coaches treated me like one of their own as well as the players. They all were very caring, honest and extremely funny. I knew that this was the school for me!"
