Vanderbilt’s women’s basketball team has three newcomers on its 2011-12 roster. Last week, VUCommodores introduced Maggie Morrison, a 5’8″ guard from Millersville, Md. Monday, we introduce you to Nadine Ndip, a 5’8″ guard from Spring, Texas.
Ndip (pronounced In-Dip) walked on to the team this past summer and will provide depth at point guard. This is her second year on campus, but Ndip has freshman eligibility.
