Nevaeh is a wonderful person who will contribute mightily to our program and locker room. She is a tireless worker, a good teammate, and is someone who possesses leadership qualities. I am thrilled that Nevaeh has chosen to come to Spalding and I believe that she will bring a unique positive perspective and enthusiasm to our locker room. On the court, Nevaeh does all the little things well. She rebounds, doesn't mind putting her body on the line for charges, and anticipates in pressing situations. Offensively, she hits the offensive glass extremely well and is someone who can provide a boost from the mid range and around the basket. Nevaeh has a lot of potential and I am excited to continue watching her grow these next four years. Welcome to the family, Nevaeh!" - Coach Arsenault
