The Lady Wolverines of head coach Betsy Boetger return all five starters from a season ago when they finished 5-18 and gained valuable playing experience. Senior 5-8 PG Gabby Wagner earned All NW Iowa 4th team honors as well as making the all city team and MRAC honorable mention honors after averaging (10.8) ppg and (5.1) rpg and led the conference in steals per game with (3.1). Wagner unfortunately, tore her ACL during volleyball season. SSI wishes her well in her continued rehab and recovery.
Senior Lily Juhnke 5-5 SG returns after a solid (11.2) ppg season earning her MRAC honorable mention honors. Senior Jordyn Reising (5-9) forward returns to the lineup after averaging (6.3) ppg and (5.3) rebounds per game while earning MRAC honorable mention honors. Another key returnee is senior Libby Buhman 5-9 forward (7.2) ppg and (5.8) rpg.
The Wolverines will also get help from the return of senior Eneyda Vazquez who is coming off an ACL repair from the 2020 volleyball season and was unable to play last winter. Junior Addie Fletcher and sophomore Kiah Davis will also provide depth.
COACH BOETGER: "With a full summer of basketball, the team has improved a great deal. Our girls are scrappy and give great effort on the floor. Our conference as a whole has a very talented senior class. Along with our conference schedule our non-conference schedule includes games with Spencer, Indianola and Worthington"
