MINNEAPOLIS — The four Minnesota freshmen recruited by Lindsay Whalen all decided their loyalty to the home-state program was stronger than the disappointment of seeing her depart. Amaya Battle, Mara Braun, Nia Holloway and Mallory Heyer are feeling even better about staying now that they have a new head coach in Dawn Plitzuweit. She was introduced as Whalen's successor at a news conference at the team's practice facility. The heralded quartet was in attendance as part of a healthy turnout from the current roster. Plitzuweit has 16 years of experience as a college head coach. She has a career record of 356-141.
