GoFrogs.com: What do you miss most when you are away from Australia?
Helen Roden: The beaches! I love the ocean and just laying out in the sun.

GF: What is your favorite thing to do when you are back in Australia?
HR: First, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Second, I like to rest.

GF: What area of your game are you trying to improve most this summer?
HR: My shooting. It took me a while last season to adjust and now I'm planning on getting a head start so my shot is perfect just before the season.

GF: What was your favorite game last season?
HR: My favorite game would have to be our first against Maryland. Even though we lost, we were playing against one of the best teams in the nation.

GF: Who is your favorite professional athlete?
HR: Dwyane Wade. He hustles, shoots well, penetrates to the basket and is a team player. He is the whole package.

GF: Who is the player you tried to model your game after as a kid?
HR: Michael Jordan and an Australian point guard named Kristy Harrowa.

GF: What is the most recent movie you watched?
HR: Finding Nemo 3

GF: Who on the team will surprise the fans the most next season?
