Boiling Springs, N.C. - Gardner-Webb women's basketball has signed four student-athletes to National Letters of Intent, a strong recruiting haul during the early signing period.

The Lady Bulldogs added 6-3 forward Kendra Brown (Stanford, Ky./Lincoln County HS), 6-1 guard Tabby Koerner (Concord, N.C./Jay M. Robinson HS), 6-3 forward Catrina Green (Greensboro, N.C./Western Guilford HS) and 5-9 guard Jasmine Dale (LaVergne, Tenn./LaVergne HS).

"We are excited about this recruiting class," commented Head Coach Rick Reeves. "Not only are all of the signees good athletes, but they are excellent students and Christian ladies."

Brown is a 6-3 post player at Lincoln County HS in Stanford, Ky. where she is averaging 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game thus far in her career. Brown was named to the All Area Team in both 2008 and 2009, was a 12th Region All Star, a Kentucky JR All-Star and the MVP of the Doss Tournament in Louisville. Brown has recorded the most blocks and most rebounds on her team in the last three seasons - 2009, 2008, and 2007 and posted the best free throw percentage on the team in 2008.

"Kendra can play both in the post and out on the perimeter," stated Coach Reeves. "She is a very versatile player and with her size she will look to fill the void that will be left by senior Margaret Roundtree. We expect Brown to have a great career during her time here at Gardner-Webb."

Koerner is a 6-1 forward at Jay M. Robinson HS in nearby Concord, N.C. where she is averaging 13.8 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game. Koerner, who plays down low for Jay M. Robinson HS, uses her size well and is a very versatile player.

"Basketball is in Tabby's blood, as both her parents played college basketball," continued Coach Reeves. "Tabby has an excellent shot and can shoot the three. With her size and versatility she will play mostly on the perimeter for us. Once she learns to play totally on the perimeter we expect great things from her."

Green, a 6-3 post player from Western Guilford HS in Greensboro, N.C., averaged 14 points. 11 rebounds, 4.0 blocks and 2.0 steals per game last year as a junior. Green was named to the Triad 3A All-Conference Team and lead Western Guilford to the second round of the state playoffs last season. Green chose GWU over the likes of Harvard, Yale, Brown and other Colonial Conference schools.

"Catrina is a true post player in every sense of the word," added Reeves. "She is a power player and is very strong around the basket. We expect her to fill in for seniors Margaret Roundtree and Sherika McLean when they depart after this season. While we have had more finesse players in the low post over the last few years, Catrina is a true power player, a true low post player."

Dale is a 5-9 guard at LaVergne HS in LaVergne, Tenn., one of the top high schools in the Volunteer State. Dale is averaging 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game in her career at LaVergne HS.

"Jasmine plays for one of the best high school's and AAU programs in Tennessee," continued Reeves. "She is a very quick and athletic guard that can cause problems for other teams as she is left-handed. Jasmine has an excellent three-point shooter and can play both guard positions."
