Note that she averaged 27 ppg, 11 rpg, 6 apg and 5 spg as a senior. Those are some great numbers...

Here's an article on her:

Here's the Ames Trib article on the signing. They are spelling her first name "Seirra" like the ISU press release, but everything else I've seen online spells it "Sierra".

I emailed the sports editor of the Ames Trib about her name, and this was his response:
----------------------------
I've been told by ISU officials, who have talked to her personally on the matter, that it is spelled Seirra. It seems her high school had it spelled incorrectly all season, so any articles of her also had it spelled incorrectly. Apparently she didn't care.

Hope this clears it up for you
