Veronical Joels, a senior at Meadows High who will play on the boy’s team in the spring, signed with the UNLV women’s team last week.

“It’s awesome to keep such a local talent in Las Vegas,” coach Amy Bush-herzer said. “Veronica is a wonderful addition to UNLV, and I am excited she gets to continue to represent our great city.”
