Brenda Frese on Coleman
"The combination of Marissa's size and skills allow her to be very versatile on the court and is like having four players in one. At 6-foot-1, with her good ball handling skills, great outside shooting and ability to take it inside and go up strong in the paint, she's incredibly difficult to defend. One of the hardest-working and most focused players on our team, Marissa leads by example. She's continually taken her game to the next level and we expect her to have a stellar senior year."
