Sanderlin was sitting the year out after transferring from Canisius, however, the NCAA’s Division I Council granted blanket to waivers to transfers on Wednesday, making Sanderlin eligible to play immediately.

Christmas came early for Tory Verdi and the UMass women’s basketball team.
The Minutewomen added a versatile wing when Danielle Sanderlin was deemed eligible by the NCAA.
“It allows us a little more depth, especially with our guards,” Verdi said. “She’s competitive and a scorer by nature. I think that having another weapon allows us to do some different things, especially getting downhill and attacking the basket.”
