Ava Uhrich joins Southern Utah from Burlingame, California. Uhrich spent her senior season at Pinewood High School, where she averaged a double-double with 17.6 points and 13.2 rebounds a game. Uhrich will look to continue her dominant play on the court this season as a member of the Thunderbirds.

Coach Mason on Ava:

"Ava is a huge piece of the puzzle for us. Ava is a tough, physical, hardworking player that I know our fans are going to love watching. She can play a multitude of positions and is a match-up nightmare for other teams."
