MARSHALL, Minn. – Southwest Minnesota State University head women's basketball coach Tom Webb announced today that Sam Wall from Delhi, Iowa, has signed a letter of intent to continue her academic and basketball career at SMSU.
 
Wall is 5-foot-8, guard at Maquoketa Valley High School and begins her senior season having already scored more than 1,000 points in her career. Last season, she averaged 20.6 points, 4.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, while earning conference player of the year accolades. She was also named first team all-region, first team all-district, first team Iowa Newspaper Association All-State and second team Class 2A Iowa Basketball Coaches Association All-State.

 
"Sam is a multi-positional player who is ultra-competitive and can impact a game on both ends of the floor with her athleticism and toughness," Webb said. "On the offensive side of the ball, she has the capability of playing the 1 thru the 3. Sam can really shoot the basketball and finish at the rim with the best of them. We are excited to add Sam to the Mustang family."
 
Wall, who is a four-year letter winner in basketball, earned first team all-conference honors as a sophomore and was a second team all-conference honoree as a freshman.
