Traverse City - It’s official.
Liz Shimek is one of the best women’s collegiate basketball players in the country.
The former Glen Lake all-state basketball player, who will be a senior at Michigan State this fall, is one of 12 players who will represent the United States at the Women’s World University Games in Turkey next week.
The team was announced by head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith (Harvard).
“Just to be one of the 16 finalists is a great honor, so I’m pretty excited to make the team,” Shimek said Tuesday evening from the team’s camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. “It’s been a great experience so far. I’m just taking it day by day and having fun.”
My View: Next year at this time, we will be watching her play in the WNBA!
