Prep notes: Boise State calls LC basketball standout Riley Lupfer
Lewis and Clark basketball standout and senior-to-be Riley Lupfer has given Boise State University an oral commitment.
This winter she averaged 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. The guard made 52 percent of her shots and 44 percent from 3-point range.
“It felt like home,” Lupfer said in a press release provided by coach George Pfeifer. “From the first time I went there in September, I could not shake the feeling I wanted to be a Bronco.”
Said Pfeifer: “Riley had numerous offers and choices. At the end, she selected a school she strongly believes is going to maximize her gifts as a player and individual. I know this; when the lights are the brightest she is at her best and a pure joy to coach.”
