Netherby-Sewell on Baker: "Alysia's been one of the best players out of CSUB and always gave us plenty of trouble across the net over the last few years - we're happy to have her on our side now. She's a knowledgeable and confident player. She's accustomed to the middle and will initially compete for a position there, but I think she can do it all. Being her last year, I look forward to seeing her drive earn her a spot somewhere on our floor."
