"The coach of Patatas - Moses Hijolusa - expects a lot from a player who "will make the other players better" and who will play her first minutes in this Sunday's game in Getafe against Estudiantes.
The Hijolusa Patatas is now complete. Dekeiya Cohen, a 23-year-old American center and 1.85m tall will be the interior complement for Moses' team that will be put to the test this weekend in Getafe against one of the best teams in the category, Estudiantes.
Dekeiya Cohen is already in Leon to add her physical strength to the team. Formerly at Baylor University (where she was one of the most important players in her 4th year) Cohen arrives to provide work, defense and rebound ... in addition to collaborating in attack.
For coach Hijolusa, Dekeiya Cohen can be the player to give them that inner weight that the team lacked.
"She has just arrived and we have to see her in training and matches. But she is a player who comes to give us many things, but above all to make the team better. She is not a player who will win games on her own; that is not her profile But it will help us win many because she has a physique that you can not find in a Spanish player. Her numbers in a good university such as Baylor's indicate she can do many things,"assures Moses.
The coach will have 3 weeks to work with the whole team and start to try things before the premiere of the first weekend of October."
