During her senior year in Sallisaw, Okla., Lee earned Oklahoma Girls Basketball Coaches Association (OGBCA) Academic All-State, VYPE Magazine Top 100 and also was named to the Oklahoma Coaches Association All-Star team. During her final season, she averaged 18.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
The 6-foot-3 forward also poses a threat on defense. During her final season, she averaged 1.9 blocks and 2.5 steals.
“Courtney is a diamond in the rough for us as she didn’t play summer ball this past year and was truly under the radar, but we are very excited to have her and the Lee family join the RiverHawks,” NSU women’s head basketball coach Fala Suiaunoa said in a press release. “Courtney has a phenomenal build and strength and with her athleticism, our forward position has definitely gotten stronger.”
Lee was one of the first recruits added to the program for Suiaunoa 2021. It’s sure to be an exciting one for the RiverHawks as they look to take Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) by storm.
