Dutch standout to play basketball at Northeast

ZWOLLE, NETHERLANDS - The Northeast Community College women’s basketball team has added a player from the Netherlands to its 2017-2018 roster. Hawks Coach Matt Svehla said he has signed Brechte Norel, originally from Hoogeveen, Netherlands.

Norel was a two-year team captain for Basketball Academy Zwolle. The team played in the highest division and won the regular season championship.

“Brechte is a solid forward, and will be a good fit for how we play,” Svehla said. “She brings mobility at the four position, and she is very unselfish. She will do whatever needs to be done and is the ultimate team player.”

The Hawks’ season is set to begin November 1.
