McKeown on Egleston
"Marlo is like the glue of the program. She's a great student and she has worked hard to be a leader both on the floor and off. She has a lot of big-game experience under her belt, and is a big factor for our success. Last year she didn't shoot as well as she's capable of. This year she'll have more freedom as we open things up, and she'll get plenty of shots. She's a clutch player, and we will need her senior leadership this season."
