The BU women's team signed 2 players in November, Michelle Lund of Bishop Heelan HS in Sioux City, Iowa, who is off to a great start, and Leah Kassing of Brown County HS who is sitting out her senior year as she recovers from a shoulder injury. --

Another nice report on BU women's recruit Michelle Lund. It sounds like he family is dedicated to Michelle's basketball career. They built a basketball court onto their house for Michelle to practice more.

Excellent reading material Coach. Thank you for providing the link to that story. Each year seems to give some hope to the BU women's program, but then they never seem to get over the hump.

Maybe with an addition of a true gym rat, that may change. The new facilities might also help out in the recruiting department for Coach Buscher.

I hope to catch a few Lady Braves games this season.

It looks like there might be one more women's basketball recruit. According to this article, Bradley signed Katie Novak of Lockport High School to a LOI last week. There is no mention of this on the BU website.

See the 2nd paragraph from bottom--

I know in talking to the coaches that they are very excited about the skill set and versatility of the incoming recruits- We will see what they can do on the hardwood....
