on and off the court She sets J the tone on the defensive end especially in the press” Taylor Z said "This year her ratio has been awesome so that means that she’s taking care of the ball and getting us into our off ense Z “We don't need her to be as much of a scorer as she has been in the past but she's doing J the little things to make us successful” Taylor said “She's Z doing exactly what you want a point guard to do” Wilier is among the league leaders in assists per game (4 ) a and among the team leaders in steals and rebounds In addition to her rble on the a court Wilier has also been a J huge factor in the success of the team’s freshman class “Andie has been really good teaching me what I need to a Jvnow If I'm out on the court J ind need to calm down she ajnakes sure that I do I've
