The UNBC Northern Timberwolves have two more dashes of local flavour.
Loralyn Murdoch, head coach of the UNBC women's basketball team, offered roster spots to post player Nicole Schlick and point guard Danielle Steel and both accepted. The six-foot-two Schlick will provide height and scoring in the paint, while Steel will help improve the team's depth and skill level in the backcourt.
"I'm really excited to add Nicole to the program," said Murdoch, who led a weekend identification camp at the Northern Sport Centre. "She's a player I've known for a long, long time. I watched her develop through the minor ball and with her time at Duchess Park. She's always been someone that we've had our eye on and it's nice to know that academically and basketball-wise we're a good fit for her.
"Dani is a great kid again, another one that we've seen come through the ranks," Murdoch added. "She has always been a huge supporter of UNBC athletics and has been playing with us in scrimmages since she was in probably Grade 9. It's nice to see that she wants to stay home and play in front of some friends and family and, as a little point guard, I'm looking forward to developing her into a role that will be suitable."
