COACH HAAG ON VOELKEL: “Amy is a special player. I know exactly what I am going to get from her day in and day out. She hustles all the time and is a leader by example. Whether it’s slashing, shooting or rebounding Amy is versatile enough to play multiple positions, which poses a problem for opposing teams.”
