Sashana’s Words:
“I enjoyed playing in the GSC with my West Florida girls. If there is one thing that I remember about my career at UWF, then it was my first season when we lost only one game and went on to win the NCAA Division II National Championship! That very moment taught me that sometimes in life, we have to lose or get pushed down in order to get stronger, get tougher, and complete some of the most important things in life! You have to lose to win!”
