Verdi on Gabriel: "I'm super excited to add a high caliber player like Piath Gabriel. She will give us great depth at the post position for many years to come. Defensively, she will have a huge presence as I expect her to anchor our defense with her length and size."
Gabriel on UMass: "I chose UMass because I felt that it would be the right fit for me basketball wise and academically. Having a family environment is very important to me and UMass welcomed me with open arms. I am very excited to learn and grow as an individual on and off the court at UMass."
