“Our goal coming into this recruiting season was to add some size and depth to our center and forward positions. This is an outstanding group of athletes that knows how to score and will be able to help us immediately at the varsity level. We signed Noelle Hall a 6’1 center from Lewiston, MN and two outstanding point guards, Jaclyn Arns (5’6, St. Michaels, MN) and Ryanne Brockhaus (5’5, Prior Lake, MN) during the early signing period. We feel this could be one of the best incoming freshman classes we have had at Northern State" said Coach Fredrickson.
