Tran will be baking some for herself this year with blue and white icing. The Five-star senior from Frisco, Texas has committed to Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.

“For all the colleges I visited, you get a nice weight room and a good sports team, but the people you can't really change. I feel like that's what really sold me on Creighton,” Tran said. “College is an experience you can never get back and it’s an important part of your life, so making those friends and relationships are the most important by far.”

Creighton head coach Tom Lilly initially contacted Tran last year to gauge her interest in joining the program.

“They weren't even in my radar at first. But the coach, he's awesome, he kept reaching out, and I decided that I should go on a visit,” Tran said. “I wanted to see different areas and see where I could fit in. And I found that I really liked it.”
