Bozier on Cheryl: “Cheryl is one of the team’s captains and continues to show improvement from being a walk-on as a freshman to being a starter. Cheryl, who last season came off the bench to play right side in the back row, will be looked upon for that court experience again this season. Being one of three seniors, she seems to be hungry for the big prize, winning a MEAC championship. Cheryl is quiet, but has shown that she can make the small and big plays.”
