"We are excited to welcome Grace to the Parkside family!" said Parkside Head Coach Jen Conely, "She is a physical, gritty, hardnosed player that will make an impact on both sides of the ball. Grace is a skilled guard that uses her strength well to attack the basket and create for others. We need to get better defensively- Grace is a great defender that makes plays on and off the ball and does a fantastic job on the boards. She is a great fit for our program and we are so excited that she will be a Ranger!"

Lomen chose Parkside because she loved the campus, the basketball coaching staff, and the sports culture in the Parkside community.  She is looking to study Sports Psychology when she begins her career at Parkside.
