When asked who specifically where they looking forward to playing on their schedule, all three on the podium said "We're ready to face everybody". Coach Summons stated "We're going to bring some Miami Heat basketball style as well as some Golden State Warrior style basketball".

Summons touched upon on how the game has changed evolving to incorporate Golden State Warriors basketball style. "Even though the game can still be played in the paint and we've got girls that can do that, it certainly has become a shooters game and we've got someone like Iva where that is her speciality".

Both Vakanjac and Cholakoska are excited for the season to start to get their first taste of live action in American basketball.

Cholakoska stated "It was very different for me when I first got here having to be in the

weight room and seeing how physical players are here. The game is also very up tempo compared to Euro basketball".

You can catch Vakanjac and Cholakoska and the rest of the Lady Sharks this upcoming season with the first game on November 1st at Palm Beach State College.
