 "Logan receiving Player of the Year is a credit to all of the hard work and perseverance she has demonstrated since they very first day she stepped onto campus. She is a professional in every sense of the word and does so much more for our team than any box score could ever portray. On the hardwood she has been nearly unstoppable and is the heart of our Cobleskill defense leading our conference in blocked shots while boasting national statistics as well. She gives us the unique ability to play a successful five-out offense but at the same time the size to attack inside when needed most. So much of our success can be credited to the things that Logan continues to do for our team on and off the hardwood, we know we go as she goes."
