Sawyer, from Adelaide, Australia, has received numerous accolades in her native country. Sawyer won eight straight South Austrailian state titles and has represented her state from the U16-U20 level. Sawyer’s team also won the U18 Australian Junior Classics and was named the Most Valuable Player of the final.

Midlick’s last signee is in-state product Larriana Bullard. Bullard, who is from Knoxville, TN has starred for Austin East High School. Bullard has excelled for her high school under coach Quentin Young and was also a standout player on the AAU circuit while with the Tennessee Pyro.
