KUTZTOWN, Pa. – The Kutztown University women’s basketball team welcomes four new additions to its program – three freshmen and one transfer – as part of its 2018 recruiting class.
The Golden Bears are coming off their fifth playoff appearance in the last six years. KU won 18 games, won a playoff game and advanced to the conference quarterfinals. KU brought in seven newcomers last year, so this year’s class will add onto the youth movement and continue the process of building a winning culture.
“We are excited to welcome this year’s recruiting class into our program,” head coach Janet Malouf said. “We return four starters and a sophomore class that made significant contributions as freshmen last year, so we look to this year’s class to develop and continue to get acclimated to college basketball. This group will have opportunities to make an impact throughout the year as we reload for the future.”
Information on Kutztown’s signees can be found below in alphabetical order by class.
