Adams pursues pro career

Playing as the lone senior on head coach Bunky Harkleroad’s first Pioneer team, Adams had quite a year. Despite playing not quite 22 minutes a game, Adams finished second in Division II with a scoring average of 22.6 points. Along with averaging better than six boards and two steals a game, she also shot 83 percent from the line. Even though her time as a Pioneer is over and she’s set to graduate in May with a degree in sports management and a minor in marketing, Adams’ playing days are far from over.
