“Kadriana has played consistent and has been a key factor and contributor for our team,” said West Georgia Tech head coach Kenny Edwards. “She scores in variety of ways. She is a versatile player. She defends our opposition’s best player and she rebounds at a high level for a guard.”
West Georgia Tech (10-7) is off to its best start in school history having won seven games against NJCAA Division 1 competition.
