Whitney in Centre Daily story from last week (really good story!).
“You get here and everyone is just as good, if not better,” she said.
Whitney called her first preseason camp one of the most mentally and physically distressing times of her life. She recalled a practice where players had to run suicide drills for every ball they went for with one arm; by the end of the drill the team had to run more than Whitney ever had to run before.
“I just remember my teammates having to be, like, ‘Aiyana, you can do this,’ and it was of my most crossroad moments,” she said. “It was either I suck it up and I figure out a way to get through these sprints, or I’m just going to leave the gym now. I think that was kind of a turning point for me. It was like this is the real deal, this is serious.”

Weiskircher in Daily Collegian:
"We’re“our biggest opponent right now,” Weiskircher said. “If we keep working hard to keep everything clean, then we’ll be fine no matter who we play.”
...
For Weiskircher, her defense is something she wants to improve on this weekend, along with getting everyone going in all different positions.
Geez: I think she did that! Did I see 6 digs and how many blocks v USF. Well done BW!
