"She's by far the most versatile player in the country," Judkins said of Purcell. "And it is not even close. She's the best rebounder I've ever coached, probably the best passer I've ever coached, and one of the best defenders I've ever coached."
Named the WCC Player of the Week for the third straight week on Monday, Purcell's talents were on full display during Saturday's win over Pepperdine, when she nearly pulled off a Kyle Collinsworth-like triple-double. She had a career-high 24 rebounds, 16 points and eight assists. Against LMU on Thursday, Purcell scored a career-high 18 points and had 16 rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block.
