McKeown on Wang: "Crystal Wang is coming off an outstanding career at Sierra Canyon, one of the top high school programs in the country. That experience has prepared her for coming to Northwestern and the Big Ten and the national schedule that the Wildcats play. Her energy, personality, and commitment to the student-athlete concept is perfect for Northwestern. Her ability to shoot the basketball and her knowledge of the game gives her a skillset that we're really excited about."
