THOMPSON — Senior Hartlee Meier of Southington signed her National Letter of Intent to play basketball for Bentley University Nov. 10
The upcoming basketball season will be the first season Meier will play for the Golden Knights, having previously played for Southington High School. Last season she averaged 12.7 points and 4 assists per game, and had 51 three pointers.
Meier, a shooting guard, decided to sign with Bentley due to the tradition and history of the women’s basketball team. “The basketball program has a history of winning championships which I would love to be a part of,” Meier said. “The team’s head coach, Barbara Stevens, is a hall of fame coach who is incredibly successful. I loved the atmosphere of the coaching staff, players, and school itself. It’s in an amazing area and overall a perfect fit for my college experience as an athlete and a student.”
She has not yet decided on a major, but is interested in management.
“I am truly excited for Hartlee to officially become a Falcon,” said Marianapolis girls’ varsity basketball head coach Lauren Moore. “
