BOULDER – Some athletes get a reputation of just being a "winner." Lesila Finau (pronounced lah-SEE-lah fin-OU) is one of those, having led both her high school teams and AAU teams to some incredible success throughout her career.
An all-state basketball player and four-year letterwinner, Finau led Dublin (Calif.) High School to a section championship and 28-4 record as a freshman, and after going through three head coaches, a 25-6 record as a senior. With the Cal Stars AAU team, her squad went 51-1.
"She has confidence, and a big part of being successful is knowing what it takes to be successful," CU head coach JR Payne said.
