"We are very excited to announce the addition of Aminata to our Lady Buff family. We have spent a great deal of time getting to know Aminata and her family the past several months, she will bring a solid balance of speed, athleticism and versatility to the court. Her ability to cover ground in the open court is special and she is exceptional at finishing around the rim" said Mattio "She will make an immediate impact on both ends of the floor for us both offensively and defensively. Aminata will really compliment the players we have on our current roster and we know she will bring a strong work ethic to the court. BuffNation is really going to love her high-energy and contagious personality!"
