“Donovan wants to be remembered as one of the best teammates to ever get to work with. Forget all the stats and win-loss records, Donovan said it matters about how others view her as a person.”

Truly a great person and player! Blessed to have her be part of the Blaze program

“She’s taken time to learn, to grow, and has been around really good players.”
