“Kayla is an effort player,” said DMACC Head Women’s Basketball Coach Steve Krafcisin. “She gives 100 percent both on and off the floor. She is a terrific teammate who makes people around her better. I feel her best basketball is ahead of her. Kayla is an excellent addition to our team and I’m very happy that she chose DMACC.”
