She grew up near Madison but played collegiately at Iowa when she was not recruited by the Badgers. She says her passion and love for the state of Wisconsin and the badgers started the day she was born.Stone says this is the job she has worked for since choosing her profession.Stone posted a 64-27 record with the Bulldogs and her 2002 club reached the sweet 16 of the N-C-A-A tournament.This past season Drake posted a disappointing 16-12 record after losing freshman point guard Linda Sayavongchanh to the school’s two-point-oh-rule at mid season. She says she loves playing in March and that’s what she’ll strive for with her new team.
