Area roundup: Gonzaga women sign Canadian guard Kacie Bosch

Gonzaga women’s basketball coach Lisa Fortier announced Thursday the signing of the first of what she hopes to be three more recruits for the upcoming year.

 Gonzaga signed Kacie Bosch, a 5-foot-9 guard from Chinook High School in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.

Fortier said that another player is on vacation and GU hopes to sign her soon. A third potential recruit is injured and Fortier said no news is expected soon regarding that announcment.

Gonzaga, which finished 29-5 last year, must replace starting guards Haiden Palmer, who recently was drafted 29th in the WNBA draft, and Jazmine Redmon.
