HARRISONBURG, Va. – Guard Hevynne Bristow has joined the James Madison women's basketball team for the 2023-24 season, Head Coach Sean O'Regan announced on Wednesday.
Bristow comes to Harrisonburg after spending the previous three seasons at Ohio State. This past season, the senior was a member of a Buckeyes squad that made its first NCAA Elite Eight appearance since 1993. The guard appeared in 29 games at OSU, averaging 3.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per contest. Prior to her time in Columbus, the Brooklyn, N.Y. native spent a season in Providence where she averaged 2.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game.
"Hevynne is a special player, person, and athlete," said O'Regan. "She got to see us up close and in person when we played Ohio State in the NCAA Tournament, and she could really see herself here with us. I have watched her since she was a junior in high school and her potential is off the charts. I'm super excited to get her on the court with us and help her get to where she belongs."
