Coach Lane Quote on Vaughan: "Reese impacts the game with her skill, speed, length and strength," said Lane. "She is a ball of energy getting her hand on passes, tracking down rebounds, slicing to finishes at the rim, finding her teammates and knocking down 3s. She plays hard. She is bringing that great combination of talent and work ethic to Newark!"
