We are pleased to welcome Crystal Chol, a 6’1 forward from Waterloo Collegiate Institute to Lakehead Women’s Basketball! 🏀🐺

Crystal brings athleticism, length, and a relentless motor to the floor. Her ability to run the court, compete on the glass, and impact plays with her energy will be a strong addition to our frontcourt.

Head Coach Chris Rao said,

“Crystal is an athletic player with a great attitude and an outstanding motor. She competes every possession and brings the kind of energy and work ethic that fits our program.”

We look forward to welcoming Crystal to the program and to seeing her compete in cobalt and blaze.
