Templeton (left) and Stockton were part of the Zags' 2015 recruiting class and became friends once they arrived on campus.
Things were different for Laura Stockton and Zhane Templeton. Instead of becoming small fish in a big pond, the duo entered an elite and special group, the women’s basketball team, who soon became family.
They were welcomed by head coach Lisa Fortier and veteran teammates who were assigned as their senior-to-freshman buddies. Templeton’s buddy was Shaniqua Nilles and Stockton’s was Chelsea Waters.
With the help of Nilles and Waters, Templeton and Stockton quickly found comfort at GU and built a close relationship with each other.
