Coach Ray's Analysis "Ilze has struggled with injuries, but we are hoping that she can stay healthy for her senior year. She came to Miami strictly a baseline player, and now has developed a solid all-court game. What makes Ilze a special player is her ability to track down any shot, a skill that even injury has not taken away."
