Shanley heads to the University of San Francisco

Presentation basketball star Molly Shanley has verbally committed to the University of San Francisco.

Shanley, a varsity starter for the past three years for the Panthers, has been heavily recruited for the past two years. She was contacted by over 60 schools, according to Presentation coach Paul Smith, but narrowed the field to eight--Santa Clara, Colorado State, Arizona State, St. Mary's, the University of San Diego, Portland State, UC-Irvine and USF. After visiting the USF campus, she decided to join the Lady Dons after her senior season for the Panthers.
