'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Video highlights on YouTube (sorry, don't have the link at the moment) suggest she is a decent driver and has a pretty good spot-up three (albeit with a slightly slow release). She doesn't use her dribble to create her own shot. She was the tallest player on the floor in the highlights and won't be in the ACC, so it will be interesting to see how she makes the adjustment. Seems like a good pickup to my amateur eye, though.
Googled a bit.. She represented Australia at the Basketball Without Borders Global Camp and was named an All-Star.
Nice article gives more insight into her and her choice.

Duke picks up another Aussie, this time a grad transfer from California, Sara A. She stated 25 games last year and averaged 7.8 points and 1.8 assists. She is from Sydney. Sara is eligible immediately.
Welcome Sara.
