“We are thrilled that Gabriella is a Dawg!” Brennan said. “She consistently performs at a high level and it’s evident that she loves the game and competing. She is a mature player who is capable of achieving at the highest levels, and we look for her to make an immediate impact when she arrives in Athens.”
