In 35 games, she recorded impressive stats: 18.9ppg, 6.1rpg, 4.1apg, and 3.6spg last season. She helped them win the MEAC Tournament and finish the regular season at the top position.
Johnson started her college career at North Carolina State University (NCAA). During Johnson's high school career, she had spent at St. John Neumann Goretti High School in Philadelphia, PA.
As mentioned above, she is just out of college and it will be her first full season as a pro.
