McKeown on Baskova
"Katarina has worked very hard throughout her career at GW. She has had to overcome some untimely injuries, but she has a great attitude and work ethic. She can really help to break down a zone defense with her outside shooting ability. In addition to her shooting ability, she is a very good passer into the post. Her playing time this year will be determined by how well she comes to play in the
pre-season."
