“We’re really excited that Miranda chose HU,” said Culler. “She brings a wide range of talents and abilities which will have an immediate impact on our program. On the offensive end, she can shoot the three as well as penetrate and finish. She handles the ball well and her quickness will be an asset at both ends of the floor. She is also an outstanding student that will have a positive influence on our campus.”
