Sykes on Palazzo

Sarah is the first player from Emmaus High School in Pennsylvania to come to UAlbany. This is one of the strongest programs in the country, having been coached by the legendary Sue Butz-Stavin, who has won over 1,100 games in her career. Sarah is a very solid all-around player. Her basic skills are very good, and her field awareness and knowledge of the game will be valuable assets for the Great Danes.
