Brooke Larsen Signs with Griffins

May 21, 2010

SALT LAKE CITY The Westminster womens basketball team has signed Brooke Larsen to a Frontier Conference letter of intent for the 2010-11 season.  Larsen will transfer to Westminster from the University of Alaska-Anchorage and will have three years of eligibility with the Griffins. 

During her freshman season at Alaska-Anchorage, Larsen scored 13 points and grabbed 18 rebounds in 16 games.  She shot 5-of-18 from the field while recording three assists and two steals.  Larsen prepped at Kearns High School in Kearns, Utah where she averaged 13 points and 11 rebounds per game as a senior.  The 6-0 center earned three varsity letters at Kearns and was on the Honor Roll.

 "We are excited about Brooke joining our program, head coach JD Gustin commented.  She is a tough physical player that loves to defend in the post and rebound.  She plays extremely hard and has a passion for playing the game.  Some considered her one of the top 5 or 6 players in Utah her senior year and we are grateful she chose Westminster to further her education." 

The Westminster womens basketball team finished the season at 27-7 and claimed a second consecutive Frontier Conference regular season championship. The Griffins were ranked a school-best No. 9 in the final coaches poll and earned a No. 3 seed in the NAIA National Championships. They advanced to the second round of national tournament for the third time in four seasons.
