VALLEY CITY, N.D. (VCSU) – Head women’s basketball coach Jill DeVries has announced \u00a0that Willmar (Minn.) native Courtney Magnuson has signed a letter of intent to attend Valley City State University (N.D.) and play basketball for the Vikings in 2015-16.<\/p>\n

A 5-foot-6 guard from Willmar High School, Magnuson signed her letter of intent with VCSU on Thursday. She is entering her senior season at Willmar.<\/p>\n

DeVries said, “We are excited to have Courtney join our Viking women’s basketball program\u00a0 Her toughness and versatility as a combo guard is what makes her a special player. We anticipate that she will be able to score multiple ways, finishing with contact as well as hitting 3’s.”<\/p>\n

Magnuson is a 3-year starter for Willmar and was named All-Central Lakes Conference and Team MVP last year in her junior season. Magnuson averaged 12.5 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 assists per game last year. She shot 34 percent from the 3-point line and 41 percent overall from the field.<\/p>\n

Outside of high school, Magnuson played AAU basketball with the Minnesota Comets.
\nShe plans to major in math while at VCSU.<\/p>\n

DVries adds, “Courtney is a fantastic student, and fits the culture of VCSU women’s basketball.\u00a0 She really understands what it takes to be her best on and off the court. Her basketball IQ makes her a tremendous passer and defender as well.”<\/p>\n

Courtney is the daughter of Ross and Kelli Magnuson. She is the first signed member of the VCSU women’s basketball 2015-16 recruiting class.<\/p>\n

Valley City State University is a member of the National Association of
\nIntercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and a conference member of the North Star Athletic Association. The Vikings finished last season 13-12 and took third in the conference. With DeVries as head coach, VCSU qualified for three straight NAIA national tournaments from 2011-2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
