"We can't wait to welcome Kari into our program," Mansfield said. "I have been fortunate enough to know Kari and her family for the last seven years and have observed the tremendous amount of growth that has taken place during Kari's student-athlete experience. Kari is a joy to be around, values learning and aspires to play professionally after her time here at OU. All of these attributes will help make our team better and I have no doubt that Kari will be ready to go when she steps foot on campus this summer."
