UND women's basketball team has secured commitments from Hopkins players London Harris and Lauren Hillesheim, both starters from Minnesota's Class AAAA state champions. Harris, a 5-foot-10 guard, chose UND over several Division I offers, citing the program's style of play and welcoming environment. Hillesheim, who scored 10 points in the state championship game, follows her father's footsteps, a former UND football standout.
New UND head coach Dennis Hutter is reshaping the team's roster, adding Harris, Kansas State transfer Finley Ohnstad, and SC Upstate transfer Ava Miller. Hutter's recruiting efforts aim to fill the void left by eight departing players and mark a new era for the Hawks. Harris and Hillesheim bring speed, scoring ability, and familiarity to the team, enhancing the program's prospects for the upcoming season.
