Michigan Tech women’s basketball coach Kim Cameron today announced the addition of Nateah Beimborn (Kimberly, Wis.) to the roster for 2011-12. The 5-7 guard joins three student-athletes—Dani Blake (Midland, Mich.), Kerry Gardner (Middleton, Wis.) and Jillian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.), who were signed last November.
Beimborn averaged 14 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals per game as a senior in helping Kimberly High School to a 18-6 record. She was named to the Appleton Post Crescent’s Fab Five team in 2011 and earned All-Fox Valley Association honors four times. Beimborn owns a 4.45 grade point average.
“Nateah is an outstanding student and really wants to be a Husky,” said Cameron. “She’s an extremely hard worker with a tremendous up-side. I think she will fit in very well with our team.”
Blake, Gardner and Ritchie all had standout senior seasons this past winter.
Blake, a 6-1 forward, earned first team all-state honors after helping Midland High to a 22-3 record and the Class A state tournament quarterfinals. She finished her four-year career with 618 points and 576 rebounds.
Gardner, a 5-10 point guard, was also selected first team all-state. She carried Middleton High to a Wisconsin Division I state runner-up finish, where she scored a game-high 18 points in the title game. Gardner averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 assists per game.
Ritchie, a 6-0 guard/forward, paced De Pere High to a 22-4 record in 2010-11. The Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All-Star averaged 10.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists as a senior.
The four recruits join a Michigan Tech squad that is coming off a national runner-up finish and 31-3 record.
