Cole, who plans to major in sports medicine, spoke about her excitement to play college basketball and attend college in general.

“Once I visited there, I just knew it was home,” Cole said. “So for me, I met the team. I was able to look at the court and also I was able to be excited about reaching outside my bubble too, being five and a half hours away from home too, so I’m super super excited though.”
