Lynx head coach and reigning NBL1 National Championship coach Ryan Petrik said he is excited to bring on the rising star into the Lynx's system. 

“We’re really excited to add Steph to the Lynx roster for 23/24. She’s someone who can guard multiple positions, play multiple positions, and shoot it from range," he said.

"Her form in NBL1 West has been outstanding, and we can’t wait to see her transition to becoming a WNBL athlete.”
