Penn State’s womens basketball team will have an interesting new staff member with the addition of current WNBA player Natisha Hiedeman.
She was announced as Director of Player Development on Monday, a role that likely means a lot of individual workout time with current Penn State players.
Hiedeman has been with the Connecticut Sun for the past four years and averaged 9.1 points and 3.3 assists per game in the recently concluded season, her first as a full-time starter. The Sun lost in the WNBA Finals to the Las Vegas Aces.
Beyond that Hiedeman, a Marquette graduate, will be able to clearly communicate the expectations of head coach Carolyn Kieger.
