Antonelli handles broadcasts for ESPN, CBS and FOX. She gave a media training and teamwork session to the young squad, which includes 11 newcomers for the 2015-16 season.
“I give them some tips and tools so when they get in front of the media, they are comfortable and there is not much anxiety or stress,” noted Antonelli. “Also, women’s basketball players have a responsibility to make sure they are doing their part to help us grow the game. They have a very important role in that with what they say.”
With the Mountaineers having a plethora of newcomers, Antonelli is excited to see what coach Mike Carey’s squad can do with returning veterans such as Bria Holmes and Lanay Montgomery combined with several newcomers.
