Umthun signs with Boise State

Heidi Umthun of Post Falls, a 5-foot-7 guard, has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Boise State.

Umthun averaged 15 points and five assists during her junior season with the Trojans.

“Heidi is a versatile and athletic guard,” said BSU coach June Daugherty. “She, too, will play both the point and off-guard positions.”
