Hartzell on Hoddinott 
"We are thrilled to welcome Giana to the Rider family. She is a proven player in our conference who has consistently performed at a high level and understands what it takes to be successful in this league. Giana's skill set as a combo guard fits perfectly with how we want to play. She can create for herself and others, score at all three levels, and impact the game in a variety of ways. Beyond her talent, she brings valuable experience and leadership that will make an immediate impact on our program."
