Majoring in philosophy. 12/3 Pitt 14 2 26 .462 1 0 1 6 QUOTING COACH ROSE "Haleigh had a great freshman season coming off of a preseason injury and I thought she played really well. She had good success early in her sophomore year and then she ran out of gas as the season went along. She has had some physical challenges that have been addressed, so hopefully she’ll be healthy. She is an engaging human being who has great energy and is a terrific student. Haleigh has national team potential and has to put in all her energy.
