CSU Will Begin The Second Half Of League Play Against The Bulldogs
At 6-foot-3, Destinee Blue is easily the tallest player on the CSU roster, giving the Vikings a solid low post presence. After adapting to the collegiate game during her first two seasons, Blue took on a larger role last year and will once again be the most experienced post player on the roster. An athletic player on the blocks, she can score with her back to the basket, rebound and block shots.
