UD had been recruiting her for a while. Ranked #167 nationally by MaxPreps. #28 at her position by Scout I believe. Blue collar low post player. Id put her in the Cassie Sant sort of mold with an Andi type frame. Jody is the PA guru on here but I think Class A is the small school division.

Updated Scholarship Tree - Breen added, Deane removed, Edwards removed-since we already have 15 scholarship players. I believe Celeste is still at UD pursuing her degree. All 15 scholarship players are eligible to play. Not sure last time that happened. Fighting for PT will be fierce.

2018 Class (2022 Seniors) - Oglesby (verbal)
2017 Class (2021 Seniors) - Penn (verbal), Breen (verbal)
2016 Class (2020 seniors) - Scaife, Wilmoth, Giacone
2015 Class (2019 seniors) - Cannatelli, Parkinson, Dennis, Duffy
2014 Class (2018 seniors) - Burdette, Layfield, Harris(PSU transfer)
2013 Class (2017 seniors) - Macioce, Cvitkovic, Grant-Allen, Blais (Marist transfer), Austria (red-shirt senior)

Is Duffy on scholarship now? I'm pretty sure she was a walk-on last year.

Good question. I don't really know for sure - although she makes for a full 15 person roster. Perhaps her scholarship is the "flexible" ship had Deane stayed or some unexpected transfer opportunity arose. It is also quite possible that UD continues to honor Edwards' scholarship as the 15th ship - much like they did with Gainey.

I saw Breen play once. Not nearly as big a frame as Andi. If memory serves she is 6 ft 1 max. The game I saw was just a local all star exhibition with no real flow to the game so hard to judge.

Which confirms that Deane did not leave because there was not a scholarship.

I don't believe anything is confirmed. Celeste is still with the program and I believe still on scholarship. Although it is confusing, I don't draw any conclusions from the fact that she is not listed on the roster today. Last year she was off, on, off, and on again - all the while on scholarship. The only flexible scholarship that I am aware of was taken by Kelley because of her injury last year.

“My dad talked to them late (Wednesday night) and they told him they had only one more spot (for a post player),” Breen said. “I called them back and committed right then.”

My gut feeling is that Amber Deane realized that even coming back with the talent they have returning, the transfers and incoming freshmen she would not even be the 6th man this year. That is not a knock on Amber it is an indictment of the talent on this years team.

We lost Jodie, and this year Grant and Cvitkovic. We picked up Harris, 6'3" and some bulk. She is a junior. How do we only have one more spot for a post player (big)?

Also Breen is 6'1", or maybe 6'2". We need a 6'4" plus to compete on the level we want. I hope Jabir knows something we don't.

Looks like four openings for next year's recruiting, 2017. We need two real centers.

If healthy, Amber would be the best player on the team--- just as she was before she went down. She was our leading scorer, best ft shooter, a 1000 point scorer in only 3 years and had she not been hurt would have finished her career well inside the all time top ten in scoring. She is one of the best to ever play for us and a likely hall of famer. Not only would she start, she'd likely be the team MVP, leading scorer and team captain.

Maddog you are welcome to your opinion like everyone else on UDPride but she was only the 6th best a few year ago and would more than likely not be a starter on this years team, even if healthy.

She saw an opening where she could be a key player for Indiana and took it. Whether their was a ship available or not is debatable not knowing where Edwards status stands.

She completed her agreement with UD and vice versa and graduated. Now we will see how she does for Indiana. Not sure of this years IU team so I am sure she will get significant minutes.

Not sure how you figure AD would be a starter on this years team when she wasn't a starter on last years team. Austria and Burdette will once again be the starting guards, same as last year where Amber came in off the bench till Austria's injury, then she took her position and started.

As it is there will be competition for the guard positions with KA, JB returning, along with Cannatelli and incoming freshman Giacone. Baring any injuries we should be fine at all positions. Will be looking for more muscle under basket with Harris.

i was questioning my memory as I read this because I didn't remember Amber coming off the bench. So I checked the stats from the 2015-16 games. Amber started every game until her injury. Kelley's loss was a big blow and Amber's was the death knell for continuing our streak of NCAA appearances.

The jury is out on Blais, so that is an unknown. Of the other players Austria, if 100%, is head and shoulders the best player. She is as good as Deane on offense, but plays defense that Deane can only dream about. Deane was a great offensive player, and would have started, or played minutes like a starter, but her defense, turnovers and lack of judgement would not make her close to the best on the team.

You're lucky if you still are young enough to have a memory. Guess I blocked out last years losing season. But fact checking, yes indeed Amber Deane did start every game till her injury. It was the year before she was the 6th man off the bench.

Just didn't recall starting 3 guards last year. Agree the Austria's injury was devastating but Ambers's was the killer. Edwards tried but I felt the first time she got bumped she'd be history. Some players can take the bump and grind on a daily basis and not bother them (insert Hoover) while others are more susceptible to concussions.

Lets hope this years team will be injury free. As for this years starters I still feel its up for grabs with the new transfers, returning players and incoming freshmen. The same with overall pt as it will be competitive. Which is good think.

Wasn't Blais All-MAAC and All-MAAC tourney team. Thats nothing to sneeze about. Obviously she can score; defense would be my question mark. While the MAAC is not the A-10 she was reportedly going to transfer to Notre Dame till she saw UD's run against Ky, UoL and UConn.

Agree on Austria being the best known player but would still love to have had Amber Back This year. She would have contributed greatly to this years success.

Sounds like she has an infection or worse. Wishing her a speedy recovery. It is not fun for a college kid in the summer.

Wow. This literally gave me chills watching that. Listening to Blais talk about her colon/infection issues almost seems like a narrative I could have given for my constant battle with kidney stones. Like her, my pain tolerance of 8-9 is everyone else's 13-14. You cant sleep because even sedentary pain is a 5, then out-of-Compton sneak attacks from nowhere shove you to a 9-10 in a matter of minutes that can last minutes or days -- you dont know. The mental stress is almost as bad as the pain itself. While she had glass in her stomach, I had glass daggers coming out of my schwanz. I too have wanted to push the DO ME IN button when its gotten to ridic mode.

I feel for the lil' critter. She's lost 40lbs. Thats 25% of her body weight -- and she was a fit college athlete to start, not a disgusting fat body. I wonder if somehow getting a 6th year is even in the discussion if she can be ready for ball this year. Shes literally been away from basketball for months with no way to maintain fitness.

Her hospital/doctor story is not unlike many. I bet she was treated at MVH but that's only a guess. The relationship care there is notoriously cold and bitter. And her best advice is you HAVE to be your own best advocate. You know your body. When something doesnt add up, you have to keep pressing. Doctors follow procedure and flow-charts but every patient requires its own specific special set of "fix it" solution. We are not fixing Chevys. Every patient is a bespoke Bentley.

Ive had the exact same impasses dealing with my own ailments. They hear you, but they dont listen. And her frustration over idiotic protocols that are not done while the docs only treat the symptoms is getting more and more typical. And more and more procedures are not being covered as more and more insurance coverage drops out of networks. Its that much more frustrating when whatever you are bent over in the fetal position from actually has treatment.

If you think her case is the exception, I think you're kidding yourself. And its only going to get worse now that the government is running the show. The DMV is a miserable experience for a reason -- they are not obligated to provide great service or lose your business.

My son has been battling the ulcerative colitis for the past six months. I see no way she can play unless she gets into remission. My son has had constant diarrhea, lost 20% of his body weight, muscle tone and most energy. Through diet and a 2 hour IV of meds he started taking every two weeks, he is now up in weight and energy and working again. The meds are like $17,000 without insurance for each treatment. I feel so badly for her, because I know what my son has been through. I have had kidney stones about six times, and the pain is great but it does not affect your weight, eating, potty and lifestyle.

You must not have had stones bad enough because they affected every part of my life you mentioned. The last stone I had took 7 months to pass. He'll on earth every single day. Gotta pee so bad your Schwanz feels like it's gonna be filleted in two - yet not a drop. Post surgery was worse than having the stones. I'd be shocked if she plays too. Without your health you have nothing.

Goodness, what a powerful video. After watching it, a few takeaways -

1. Always remain in control of your health care decisions.

2. Make sure you understand everything that is being done - even to the point of being overbearing in asking questions. Tell them you want to understand every test and see every test result.

3. If you feel you are not getting good care, make it be known. As pointed out in the video, it should not take screaming on the hospital floor to get the needed attention.

4. The internet can be your friend when it comes to health care questions. It can also mislead you.

5. The folks at MVH need to watch this video. They might learn something.

I am guessing that basketball for this coming year is out of the question. Even if things go well with the transplant, getting back into game shape from where she is now will be a long process. Just as important, is the ability to still play the game at a high level still there. It may take a year just to find out. Normally, as a transfer, this coming year would be her last year of eligibility. Should she want (and that decision is a ways off) , I would think the NCAA would be very receptive to granting her a 6th year of eligibility for next year based on what is on this video alone.

Here's hoping things go well for her on 8/2. Get healthy first - and then we can talk basketball. Looking forward to her next video.

We've often heard one mans medicine is another mans poison. No one know your body like you do. They are called practitioners for a reason.

Can't complain about my cancer treatment, all went well and am a survivor.

However they did further test and found I had high blood pressure, like 223 over 127. Put me on meds right away. Then came sugar diabetes with more meds. At first all was okay, but had a doc that didn't even want to listen so got rid of him the new guy is great but once again he is a practitioner.

After several months was informed that my high pressure meds were affecting my liver and was put on liver watch.

In an attempt to counteract the meds affecting my liver was put on lisinopol(sp) HTC and it almost killed me. Instead of my bld pressure going down it was continually going over 200/100. Was told when that happened (which was always and ever) to take the med that was affecting my liver. I tried to stay the course thinking they knew what they were doing when one day I was unable to walk, talk effectively, and drive, or anything else for that matter. Friends came by to pick me up for a birthday party and when I entered with the help of others my friends gasped stating that I looked like I had a stroke. Now I don't know what a stroke feels like but I was pretty sure I hadn't had one.

I kept telling the Doctor the symptoms i was having, light headedness, constant pain in the forehead part of the brain, shakes, hot flashes followed by chills, and of course the inability to provided for my basic needs. (living alone that is a necessity). He was sure this would pass, and I assured him that if it didn't soon I would pass.

At the b'day party (in a restaurant) a man sitting at another table over heard my story and said that he too had gone through something similar. First of all he stopped taking the meds cold turkey. He instead started taking 'Black Seed' cumin style and said his condition returned to almost normal.

Looking it up on Amazon (that is where he bought it) I went an ordered it in both the seed and cold pressed capsules. As he did, stopped the meds and took the black seeds and cold pressed capsules. Within two days I was functioning fairly close to normal. The following week had a followup appointment with my doc. After the blood tests came back he came in the exam room, sat across from me with his arms folded and asked...."what had I been doing?' Hesitated but told him the above story about the black seed etc and waited for his reaction. To my surprise he said...."well I don't know anything about this black seed, but if its working, then keep doing it.

He also said he would have to write a report and sent to the medical people regarding my reaction to the drug. I was the first supposedly reporting this type of reaction.

To my knowledge, I have never been allergic to anything in my life, yet here I was taking a med that had helped many before me and yet it was poison to me.

Fortunately I had a doc who listened and went along with the herb dosage. I still take a bld pressure med when and if I feel the need but for the most part I'm off it.

Best part is I'm given a good bill of health and can resume my work. Quite fortunate at 73 to still be able to do the work I do.

As others have said, listen to your body, know one knows it quite like you do......but by all means keep getting regular check ups. Never know when something will creep up on you......like my 223/127 blood pressure. Had no idea or symptoms.....that is why it is called the silent killer.

Chris, did they not try Lithotripsy? After a month of suffering on this last one, and sticking a tube up my penis, the doctor finally did Lithotripsy, and it crushed the stones and I passed them.

Mine were too big and lodged for shock waves no matter how many times I begged, so they had to get roto-rootered. I went months puking, diarrhea, days without sleeping, lost weight, completely dehydrated. I didnt want surgery again last time. Surgery is horrrrrrrrrible. These things usually pass in a few weeks. When it got to a cpl months I figured it had to literally be just days from coming out -- so why have surgery when I suffered through the first 90%. I'm tough. Ill suck it up. Another month passes. Again, the sucker has to be close to coming out. I could feel the pain shift to new places. Finally after 5 months I couldnt live this life anymore and wanted a bullet in my head or the stone out. Doc did cat scan and it was 80% traveled.

Well, okay at least I know Ive suffered through 4/5ths of it. Why have surgery now when Ive sucked it up for the first 80%. So I went home and suffered some more. I gotta pay the firs $1500 of all my medical bills. I didnt want to spend that money for the last 20% of suffering. Went back to doc a month later. About 90% out. Took two more months to pass it.

It may have been worse than the first time I got stones and had to have the rebar up my schwanz with the surgery just because it never ever ever let up. I was in 5.0-6.0 pain 24/7 for months. Not enough to kill you or send you to the ER, but enough to prevent you from ever concentrating or falling asleep. It dominated my life. Because its physically/biologically impossible to fall asleep when you feel like you have to go the bathroom 24/7 -- even though you dont. I remember one night about 4-5 months into this I had no pain and went to sleep for 3 and a half days.

The only good thing about these asteroids is they usually wont kill you like perhaps C-Diff and certainly cancer. So you have to keep that in proper perspective because you could have it worse. But, they feel like they are killing you every time you pee it feels like youre pushing jagged rusty razor blades (sideways) from your pork sword. More than one urologist has told me their female patients are adamant that childbirth is far more pleasant. My guess is when Madeline becomes a mother, it won't feel nearly as unpleasant as what she has recently gone through either.

After reading the above I've sworn off from ever urinating again.

Can only imagine what it was like and wouldn't even come close. My only stone was so minuscule it wouldn't even count as a stone. My urologist was certain I was bleeding in my kidney/bladder area that he insisted on upping a camera to check it out. He assured me I wouldn't feel it as he would deaden it. Sure enough I didn't feel a thing till he stated, now don't curl your toes. Now why would I curl my toes I thought, then I realized not all was deadened. Bringing the camera back out got the same "don't curl your toes" as it exited the valve (or whatever). I might add here that I called him every name in the bible but not in a theological way.

After it was over he said; "oh by the way your about to pass a stone". What I said, why didn't you bring it out with you. He suggested they may have to check again in a couple months to assure healing (from cancer treatment). That was the last time I saw him.

Due to the canal being deadened I guess I didn't feel it moving forward. Couple days later I went to urinate and thought for sure I had just given birth to a 9 lb something or other. Other than the blood I couldn't see a darn thing.

Can't imagine what it was like with something see able by the naked eye.

Don't wish ill health on anyone.

Good luck to her, that program is a mess right now. Players transferring out, assistants leaving, really sounds like the problem is at the top.

Would you expect her to chose us, without a coach and coming off a trainwreck season? Others might call us a mess right now.

No your constant negativity would call us a wreck. Most informed people know you don't lose 3 of your top players to injury without some repercussions. Even Geno would see a drop in his team with the loss of three starters.

AWESOME!

Have any of you seen her highlights. I would compare her to Ally but she looks more athletic with a better handle. That is only based upon watching these highlights below. She is a GREAT first get for Shauna, she will help on both ends

And she also seems to be a very nice well spoken young lady!

Saw Sam Breen play last night for the first time this year. She has added some weight since I saw her last and looks really fit. She is 6'1" max. She had a really nice game...around 20 points in about 2 and 1/2 quarters of playing time. Every basket she scored however was a layup or layin of a putback. She plays on a team that is loaded with both height and talent. They have three 6 foot starters and another starter is approx 5'10 and one of the most talented freshmen in southwestern Pennsylvania. The tallest player on the team they were playing was about 5'8", so it was hard for me to judge her. In warmups her outside shot looked ok but not great. She is very athletic with good quickness and skill around the hoop.

Sam Breen's team won last night 70-7. She had 24 points. Gotta wonder if she is facing the kind of HS competition that is preparing her for what she will encounter next year.

You have seen the gap in college between the top teams and others. It is a trickle up from high school, where a good player can dominate, because there are gobs of nonathletic undersized players. It will take many years for the HS level to catch up.

I doubt she is facing great competition very often. But, her skills will translate to helping ud. You can make a highlight video that can make you look like a good shooter by eliminating all of your missed shots. But, ball handling skills can't really be faked. What she probably won't see very much before arriving is players with great quickness.

We need to temper our excitement on Breen. She plays at a school, in the smallest division of four. I hope she does it here, but it will be a big leap for her.

Remember she is being personally trained by Archie's dad John, who was instrumental in her choosing UD and keeping her commitment when Jabir resigned.

Probably good advice but based upon her video I think she can contribute next year because of her ball handling and passing ability. She might not find it easy to get as many put back baskets at this level. When the area reporters say that she is the best player in the Pittsburgh area that is also a positive. But, I believe my eyes and I really like what I see

I had the same skepticism about Hoover playing at non-OHSAA Spring Valley Academy. I wasnt sure what we were getting. Then I asked a local HS girls BB expert and he confirmed it: "you don't."

Also with many of these recruits don't know if your getting them at their peak or if they are still growing physically and skill wise.

Regarding Hoover, never new player male or female who took so many charges and committed so many herself and picking herself off the floor yet never had a concussion that I can recall. Some can handle the roughness while others can't. Edwards seemed to be fragile in that regard.

Not correct. Last year Breens team played in the smallest classification, A. This year, Pa switched to six classification A through 6A (used to be A through 4A). Her team was originally classified as 2A but they elected to play up to 4A. (Like I said in an earlier post, they are loaded this year) So they are playing at the 4A level. That's admirable, but they were placed in the weakest 4A section, so they are playing 10 games against weak teams. They do play good competition in their other 12 regular season games. On Saturday, they played a pretty good 6A team and Breem had 30 of her teams 48 points

Breen scored 31 of her team's 51 in last night's tournament win.

Great point on whether a player might have peaked or if they have more room to improve. It is even harder to know whether they are willing to work their butt off to improve or whether their goal was to get a div I scholarship.

It is obvious in watching her video that Breen has had some great coaching and it is also obvious that she works hard at improving. It is unusual for a high school forward to drive the length of the floor on the dribble.

One thing that I have noticed recently is that the women have not improved as much during the off season. In previous years every player on the team would noticeably improve. As an example Brittany Holterman learned to shoot during the off season. I spoke with her mother and she said that Brittany had worked very hard all summer with the high school coach to improve her shooting.

I think that Saicha is the player who improved noticeably from last year and I think that Layfield's shooting has improved dramatically as well as her ball handling. But, I haven't seen a lot of improvement from others and you really need that.

Layfield would be much more effective if she's stop shooting 3's. 27% is atrocious. She's a slasher.

I based my opinion only on what I saw her do in a few games where she looked like a good shooter. I didn't realize that she is so streaky. she had three games where she was 7 of 11 from three. The three games prior to that she was 0 for 8

she is probably one of the players that Shauna referred to as being a good shooter in practice. If she can have three games hitting 7 of 11 in the tournament it would be huge.

Layfield was a disaster last year from everywhere, so the fact that she makes many layups and 27% of threes is great progress. If she works during the summer, she can be a good shooter.

No one shooting 27 % should be shooting 3's ever. That's worse than Pollard and she's taken 2.5 X more attempts.

I think that going 7 of 11 over three games shows that she is capable if she is set. The bigger issue might be taking some that are rushed. Wasn't layfield interviewed after one game saying that when she made her first couple of shots she knew it would be a good game. Some people have fragile confidence if they don't make their first shot or two.

If she is a three point shooter in practice I would tell her to shoot during the game



I agree with Jack that she can be a very good shooter next year if she puts the work in. That would fill an important void going into the season

Looking forward to Sid's next update on Breen

Some young shooters rush their shots, and get herky jerky, instead of a smooth repetition. Crosby on the men's side tends to do the same thing. Watch Crosby on a free throw, not to be confused with Jack Gibbs on Davidson who takes the ball from the ref, and with one smooth motion makes almost every one. But Gibbs motion is in rhythm, and identical flow every time. We hear about the game slowing down, and being able to slow down your shooting motion is part of it. Scaife and Harris have the same problem.

Thankfully he missed two in a row late.

Other semifinal
The top-seeded Cardinal
Wuerl North Catholic Trojanettes
showed up as the
“Tigers” on the scoreboard
Monday night because the
neutral-site WPIAL Class 4A
semifinal was played at
Moon.
It turned out to be fitting.
The Trojanettes certainly
had the eye of the tiger, withstanding
Beaver’s hot
shooting and clawing to a 59-
49 victory to earn a spot in
the WPIAL championship
against Blackhawk.
Sam Breen, a 6-foot-1 Dayton
recruit, scored a gamehigh
27 points and was unstoppable
down the stretch
as she netted 11 in the fourth
quarter to help the Trojanettes
(22-2) pull away.
That was after the No. 5
seed Bobcats (17-6) went on a
wild 3-point spree in the
third quarter.
At one point, Beaver
drilled 3-pointers on four
consecutive possessions and
finished the third having
made six of their eight attempts
from behind the arc
in its bid to reach its first
WPIAL title game.

Well anyone could score if they played with no gravity, bet they could all slam dunk too.

From today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

The big question before
Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic
and Blackhawk squared
off for the WPIAL Class 4A
girls basketball championship
was whether the size of
the Trojanettes or the 3-point
shooting of the Cougars
would prevail.

As it turned out, the Trojanettes
scored from all over
the court and, limited the
Cougars’ 3-point effectiveness
in a 65-36 win Friday
night at Petersen Events
Center.

University of Dayton recruit
Sam Breen is a tall task
for any team, especially the
smaller Cougars, who had
no answer for the 6-foot-1
star. Breen racked up a
game-high 34 points and
pulled down 21 rebounds.
Breen had 23 first-half
points, including two 3-
pointers.

Sid, Thanks again for all of the info on Sam Breen. I expect her to contribute quite a bit next year based upon the videos I have watched.

What do you expect?

I have no idea given that I have never seen her play. A cousin of mine in Pgh. says the league classification her team is in is not tops so she likely is not playing high caliber competition. Maybe someone closer to Pgh. can enlighten us. On the other hand, it was nice to see she scored a couple of treys. Given that she is "only" 6'-1" it isn't likely she will play totally inside for UD.

At 6'1" Breen will not play the post like Grant, but with Harris back, she can be an inside out threat. I suspect by her point totals, threes and free throws she is a shooter. It will be nice to have another shooter, with Austria gone. She is plenty tall to rebound if she blocks out, has strong hands and anticipates well. Defense will be a huge adjustment as the players will be stronger and quicker.

I definitely dont see breen playing with her back to the basket a lot although I am sure she can st times. She seemed to have good handles from the highlights and I think she will face up and drive on bigger people. Even though I expect her to contribute next year I agree she will have adjustments to make hopefully shauna can add another player in the spring period

I have seen Breen play 4 times this year. 2 of them were against good teams. I can tell you that she is very skilled, has great awareness and vision, and an above average passer. I can also say that she will not be a back to the basket player. What I have no idea about is how much she will help next year. Every game I have seen has been against a lack of size. I am not talking about talented size, just size in general. The team they played in the WPIAL (Pgh area district) finals was actually and coincidentally Archie's high school team, Blackhawk. She dominated and her team dominated because B'hawk is a 3 point shooting team full of diminutive players and they had a bad night shooting the ball.

So, in summary, I like her a lot but have not seen her play anyone close to her in talent or stature.

Last PA Gatorade POYs went to Nova, Duke, Maryland, Penn State [Duke], Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, UCLA, Vanderbilt.

Pretty much all were Top-50 recruits. Many are household names.

The Madeline Blais transfer was a direct result of the E8. Penn was also a commit we had because of the E8, unfortunate that she bailed without seeing how Shauna did.The three freshmen were pretty highly regarded also.

Sam Breen's team continues to advance in the PA state tournament. Last night she had 26 points and 11 rebounds.

Today will finally be the day that will be a good indicator on Breen. Her team is playing Villa Maria Academy, a traditional power in Pa hoops. They are loaded with talent and size. They have two 6'2" players. One has already signed with Bowling Green and the other has D1 offers. I am not sure which playoff game I am going to today. There is another venue that has 2 games that interest me, so I may go there. I will post a summary if I go to watch Breen or a newspaper summary if I go elsewhere.

From today's Pgh Post Gazette:

Tradition, size and talent

There will be lots of size, talent and tradition on the floor when Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic plays Villa Maria of Erie in a Class 4A girls quarterfinal Saturday at Slippery Rock.

For tradition, consider that North Catholic has won eight PIAA titles, including a year ago, while Villa Maria won three consecutive from 2009-11. For size, North Catholic has 6-1 Sam Breen and 6-2 Kylie Huffman while Villa Maria has 6-2 Madison Demski and 6-2 Sydney Palermo.

And both teams have future Division I college players. Breen is a University of Dayton recruit. Tess Myers is one of the WPIAL’s top freshmen and a future Division I prospect. Villa Maria has four future Division I players. Guard Molly Molly Mraz has committed to Richmond, guard Andrea McCormick to Columbia and Palermo to Bowling Green. Demski has a number of Division I offers.
