James said, "I chose Bryan because it was such a welcoming and closely-knit community."
Bryan Head Coach Rocky Stinson commented, "Beka adds a great defensive player in the middle of our outfield and a short game at the top or bottom of the lineup. She has good speed and I look to see her on base a lot this next season."
