Washington State women’s basketball captain Krystal Leger-Walker signed a professional contract with Northern Kahu last week. The point guard will join the Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa League and play for the team that is located about 80 miles north of where she grew up. This won’t be the first time she suits up in New Zealand since high school however as she was apart of the New Zealand National Team in 2021.
Leger-Walker finished her Cougar career helping the team earn back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths over the past two years. She originally joined the program in 2019 with one year of eligibility remaining after spending the previous three years at Northern Colorado.
