"We are excited to welcome back an Alumni to our staff. Her background as a teacher, loyalty to our program throughout all these years, and growth-mindset, were elements that caught my attention about recruiting Viera for this position," Concepcion said.
"She has grown tremendously in and off the court, and understands what it takes to be successful here at UE. Her playing and coaching experience in one of the most successful club programs in the country (Sports Performance) will help us continue to grow our recruiting base in the Midwest."
