“The angles that Viktorija can hit from the opposite position are truly hard to believe. She sees the court as well as any player in our conference, if not better. Viktorija is such an offensive weapon for our team and can set any time we need her to as well. We expect another great season from Viktorija.”
- - Head Coach Shelly Barberee
