\"VandalAlli\"<\/a>VALLEY CITY (VCSU) \u2013 Valley City State University women\u2019s basketball coach Jill DeVries announced Tuesday that Alli Vandal from Rolla, N.D., has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Valley City State University.<\/p>\n

A 6-foot forward, Vandal excelled last season for Rolla High School, averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. She led the Bulldogs to an 18-5 record, a second-place finish in District 8, and an appearance at the Class B Region 4 Tournament. She is already a 3-time All District 8 selection entering her senior season at Rolla.<\/p>\n

While Vandal\u2019s high school success has been great, DeVries says there\u2019s even more success ahead for her at VCSU.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlli is a great addition to our Viking family,\u201d DeVries said. \u201cShe has a tremendous work ethic and we look forward to working with her as we believe she hasn\u2019t even touched on her potential yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of high school basketball, Vandal also plays with the North Dakota Phenom AAU team. Her length and versatility on the court make her a good fit with the Vikings.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is a long athlete that can stretch defenses with her 3-point range, as well as finish in the lane with a soft touch,\u201d DeVries said. \u201cHer length and quickness will also help us on the defensive side of the ball and in transition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vandal plans to major in elementary education while at VCSU. She is the daughter of Bob and Mary Vandal. She joins Courtney Magnuson (Guard, Willmar, Minn.) as signed recruits for the 2015-16 VCSU women\u2019s basketball season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valley City State University is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate 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":"
