Hayes commented on her new professional contract saying, “I am excited about being uncomfortable again,” she said. “I have been home and have been in a very comfortable situation and I am excited to step out of that and hopefully grow as a human being.” Jesse Mahoney, the head coach of Colorado, talked glowingly about Hayes stating, “I know she is going to represent herself and the University of Colorado very well. It’s exciting to have another player continue their career into the professional arena after finishing up at CU. She is going to do a fantastic job.”
