"Myah has been a leader in her university of South Dakota State and is a very versatile player in attack, with a lot of capacity to generate in one-on-one and to the post, and her readings and ability to pass makes her teammates better," said Baxi Ferrol head coach Lino Lopez. "Her versatility allows her to defend exteriors and interiors, just like most of the team's players. This will be her first experience [in the league], but I'm sure that her personality, professionalism, and ambition will make her adapt very soon to the team and the league."
