enough that my family and friends can still come see me play,” said Higgins. The 5’7” point guard averaged just under 20 points and 10 rebounds in her last two seasons and was named Lakeshore Conference Player of the Year last year as a junior. Coach Brendon Plowe is excited to be starting his first year at St. Joseph's with a player like Erin. “Erin’s work ethic is what seperates her from many other players. She is constantly in the gym working on all aspects of her game and has really worked hard to get her game ready for the next level,” Coach Plowe said. That hard work includes playing for the Full Package Lady Lightning Elite AAU team in the offseason. When asked if she's relieved to have her decision finalized before the season, Erin said she is more happy than relieved. However, Coach Plowe believes her early decision will allow Erin to focus on her senior season and enjoy it as well. “Erin has been a key component at St. Joe’s over the years, which is evident from her stats. She is a special player and I am looking forward to watching her play her senior season. She will continue to contribute to our team’s overall direction and success.”
