Women's basketball signs Hutchinson High School standout Angela Tauer
November 2, 2009
Mayville State University women's basketball coach Dennis Hutter is pleased to announce that Angela Tauer will continue her basketball career at Mayville State University next fall.
Angela Tauer is from Hutchinson, Minnesota and is the daughter of Joseph and Deborah.
Hutchinson may sound familiar to some because of Lindsay Whalen, the star point guard of the University of Minnesota when the Gophers went to the Final Four. Angela said she first realized she wanted to play basketball at the collegiate level after watching Whalen play at the University of Minnesota.
Angela visited Mayville State early this fall and talks about her visit: “I went and visited there and I practiced with the team. I went out and ate dinner with some of the players and I asked them questions and they gave me the whole story on why they chose Mayville. I really feel like I fit in. When I walked out onto the court I knew this was the right place for me.”
Angela still has her senior season at Hutchinson, where she has lettered the past three years and holds the school record for consecutive free throws made at 18. Angela is also a great student. Going into her senior year she has a 3.9 grade point average where she has lettered academically the past 3 years while being a member of the National Honor Society.
"At five-eleven she is a very skilled player who works extremely hard on the floor and always puts the team first," MSU women’s basketball coach Dennis Hutter said. "She has the work ethic of the type of player that we want in our program. She wants to be the best player that she can be and made that very clear in the meeting with us. When she worked out with our team in the fall, it looked like she was part of our team already. She interacted with our players very well, and her skill level made her fit right in."
Angela is a great addition to Mayville State on and off the floor.
"We are very excited for 2010-2011 season to see her in the Comet Blue and working with our team on the Lewy Lee playing floor," Hutter said.
