UCLA HEAD COACH ADAM WRIGHT ON McCARTHY
"Kate (McCarthy) is a creative attacker that plays with a lot of energy. Through the recruiting process, we were impressed by how much she really wanted to be in a place that would challenge her to learn and grow as both a player and a person. She is tall and long and plays hard and we think she will grow and develop into a tough matchup on both offense and defense. She's driven and that is something we are always looking for."
