"I am so happy to finally announce that Coach Bruner is joining our program," Powell stated. "I am beyond excited to be able to bring in another great coach. Coach Bruner came highly recommended, and I can't wait for her to get on the court with the team. I think that she is going to help continue to position this. Program to compete at a high level each season. I'm sure she will be sharing nuggets picked up from one of the greatest coaches in the country, Dawn Staley."
