NJIT broadcaster Mike Ventola discusses summer internship with Kimi Evans and playing with younger sister Dani
Coach Lane Quote: “Kimi provides us a big presence in the paint. Her ability to score over either shoulder is a great fit for our 4-Out offense. Kimi has to sit out a year as a transfer, but this is a great opportunity for her to work on strength and conditioning, challenge us in practice each day and most importantly grow her game. We expect a big year out of Kimi albeit out of uniform.”
