“Liz was an amazing teammate for a lot of reasons, but it has nothing to do with team accomplishments on the court. There are all kinds of leaders in the world and she was one that was really good at meeting others one-on-one. Liz would take them to get coffee and make sure they were doing ok, not just as a player, but as a person, in their spiritual growth, and academically. She has a real heart for people and she wanted to be counted on to help others, which is why she went into counseling.”
-- Steve Brooks, former IWU women’s basketball head coach
