9/20/2023 3:55:00 PM | Women's Basketball
MINNEAPOLS – University of Minnesota head women's basketball coach Dawn Plitzuweit has announced today that freshman guard Kennedy Klick (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) suffered a season-ending right knee injury this week.
Â
"Unfortunately, Kennedy's injury will be a season-ending injury," Plitzuweit said. "This is incredibly tough news for Kennedy and for our entire team. We love Kennedy and we know that she will attack her rehab as she did her practice sessions thus far, with drive and tenacity. We know that she will not only overcome this obstacle, but she will grow and thrive throughout this challenge."
Â
Klick is entering her first season with the Golden Gophers after a standout prep career at Maple Grove High School where she averaged 12.3 points per game during her senior campaign for the Crimson. The left-handed combo guard played five years of varsity hoops and won a Minnesota state title during her freshman season while competing at DeLaSalle. During a portion of her prep career Klick was coached by former Gopher Ashley Ellis-Milan (2007-10).
