NY 2018 Forward to A-10

6-foot-2 Maria Regina H.S. junior Kaitlyn Downey (2018) has made her college plans. Downey has decided to attend Fordham University in the A-10. NYGHoops Report had the chance to speak Nick Volchok the Director of Empire State Basketball Downey's longtime travel team. 
 
"I realized Kaitlyn was D1 in my first year of working with her as a 7th grader; her skill set was developing at a rapid pace. She had such a strong desire to want to keep learning and such great passion while competing." The versatile forward held offers from over 25 schools including Holy Cross, Dayton, Iona, Manhattan, Marist, Rhode Island, Richmond, GW and American to name a few. 
 
Coach goes on to state "I believe it's a great fit because it's everything she’s looking for in a school and program; Fordham's style of play is perfect for her skill set and academically they offer her exactly what she is looking for.  I'm very happy for both Kaitlyn and Coach Gaitley."
