Brewster High star Chandler Smith leaves Nebraska, chooses Zags

Chandler Smith, who led Brewster High to the 2013 WIAA Class 1A state championship, is transferring to Gonzaga. She will not be eligible to play until the 2016-17 season due to NCAA transfer rules.

Smith is leaving Nebraska after battling an injury last fall and appearing in the final 17 games of her 2014-15 freshman season. She averaged 1.8 points and 1.9 rebounds per game overall.

“I could not be more excited to have Chandler as a member of the Gonzaga family,” Zags coach Lisa Fortier said. “She was one of the most highly touted guards in the west coming out of high school, and has a skill set that will allow her to play all three guard positions for us.
