Former Wichita State women’s basketball player Ellie Lehne is transferring to Arkansas-Fort Smith, according to the Rockford (Ill.) Register Star.
“I’m really looking forward to this great opportunity,” Lehne told the Register Star Friday. “I love their style of play and everything that the UAFS women’s basketball program is currently building.”
Lehne, from Byron, Ill., left the Shockers early last week and set off events that led to coach Jody Adams-Birch sitting out this weekend’s games and made her future uncertain. Assistant coach Kirk Crawford is the acting coach and directed the Shockers in Friday’s win over Bradley.
