"We are excited to have Claire Shubin as a graduate transfer from Dominican University along with two local SoCal freshmen," stated Carr. "We have played alongside Claire throughout her career at Dominican and I have always been so impressed with her. She has won four individual tournament titles, one PacWest Conference Individual title, and has been to the post-season twice as an individual. Having Claire's veteran experience along with two freshmen and a solid group of returners gives us a solid shot at bringing home another conference championship this year."
