Bohn, a 5-11 forward, was announced as signing with the UFV Cascades on May 1.
“Ella has been a dynamic offensive player who can really shoot the ball, and on the defensive end of the floor her length allows her to influence shots.” UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer stated. “We think there is a huge upside to her game, and we are really excited to start working with her.”
Bohn played club with the Port Coquitlam-based Excel Basketball.
Singh, a 5-9 guard, signed with the Nanaimo-based VIU Mariners on April 18.
“Hannah can hoop and has a good feel for the game,” stated Mariners head coach Tony Bryce. “We love the fact the Hannah could potentially play all three guard spots while bringing some size, compete, and toughness to our perimeter. We are very happy and excited for Hannah to make the move to the Island to join the Mariner family.”
Singh played club with BC United and Athelite Basketball Academy.
W🏀 is excited to announce the commitment of Ava Heppner to their program for the 2024-25 season!
