SCHULLER SAYS: "Maisie is a young lady that hails from this region and who we have had the opportunity to watch grow up. I am so thrilled as should the rest of Eagle nation be that she is an Eagle. Maisie is a jack of all trades on the court and embodies the toughness we want to play with. She will bring not only a great basketball skillset, but she is also a phenomenal student and leader. Her experience playing on a great high school team at Liberty for coach Chris Colvin and a national power club team with Steve Klees' Northwest Blazers has given her a strong foundation. Â It will be a lot of fun for her home region to get to watch her play."
