Cleveland is the place where I could unlock my full potential as an athlete, as well as receive an education that will set me up for success in life after basketball."
 
Kielsmeier on Carr: "We're excited to add Addison to our roster, she's a powerful interior presence with a great work ethic and a desire to improve. Addison embraces physical play and will fit perfectly into our culture of toughness and team-first mentality. Her ability to establish position and finish around the rim will bring valuable depth and physicality to our frontcourt."
 
EMMA PIQUE | 5-11 | GUARD
Pique, a 5-foot-11 guard from Barcelona, Spain, will be joining her sister Paula on the Viking roster. Pique started her collegiate career at Northwest College in Wyoming, helping the Trappers to a combined 25 wins so far.

Kielsmeier on Pique: "We're thrilled to add Emma to our program. She is a quick playmaking guard who fits our system and brings a natural ability to create and score.
