Maya Barendt Signs with LRSC Women's Basketball

Head Coach Danny Mertens is excited to announce the signing of Maya Barendt from Devils Lake, ND.

Maya averaged 8ppg, 3apg, 2spg and 3rpg for the number one ranked Devils Lake Firebirds during her senior season. They advanced to the state championship game before it was postponed. During her junior season she was an integral part of a team that finished runner up in the State Championship. Maya shot 35% from the field and 30% from three.

Her head high school coach Justin Klein had this to say, "Maya stepped up and hit some big shots for us this season, she has the ability to really stretch out the defense with her outside shooting.  She shot the ball with a lot of confidence.  Maya is an athletic player who can also play the point and help handle the ball."

Maya said, "I am excited to continue my career at Lake Region State College. I think it is going to be fun to continue to get to play in front of my family and the hometown crowd. I look forward to helping the team any way that I can."

Head Royals Coach Danny Mertens said, "Maya brings a confidence to our team. She has won a lot of games in her career and has played in a number of big games. She will be an asset to us on both ends of the floor. I look forward to watching her develop and having her help us keep our winning tradition at LRSC."

Go Royals!
