MORAGA, Calif. — Two elite, decorated local players with all-around talent will continue their basketball careers as Gaels next season, as the Saint Mary’s women’s basketball team announced Thursday the signing of Emily Codding from Santa Rosa and Madeline Holland from San Jose.
Both Codding and Holland have excelled for three varsity seasons on premiere Bay Area girls high school basketball teams. The 6-foot Codding is a two-time first team all-North Bay League player and has led her Santa Rosa High School team to the postseason on two occasions. The 5-foot, 11-inch Holland helped lead her Archbishop Mitty High School team to a state championship in 2014-15 and last year earned numerous Player of the Year awards from the West Catholic Athletic League and local media.
