"Danielle is a special player," added Assistant Head Coach Gregory Mercer. "She's a tremendous leader on this team and everything you want in a captain. Whether it's setting up her fellow teammates for success with assists, finishing shots, or helping back on defense to secure a steal, she's everywhere all the time. You couldn't ask for a more complete player."
Flanagan was at it again this weekend in Corvallis, Oregon, March 5th-6th, where she helped lead the Huskies to their first 4-0 CWPA tournament in 10 years.
