Head coach Jennie Baranczyk expressed excitement about the addition of Washenitz, highlighting her scoring ability and leadership.
“Marley is a dynamic guard who brings skill, toughness, and experience to our team,” Baranczyk said. “Her ability to create plays and make an impact on both ends of the floor will be a great asset for us.”
With the Sooners looking to strengthen their roster for a deep postseason run, Washenitz’s commitment adds valuable depth and experience. Oklahoma fans can look forward to seeing her play a key role in the upcoming season.
