Aberdeen, S.D. – Northern State University head coach, Ryszard Gorski announced the addition of Zoe Boughton to the 2021 roster today. She is a native of Inver Grove Heights (Minn.) attending Simley High School. 

Boughton will join Avery Blasdel (Glenwood, Iowa), Summer Carlson (Moorhead, Minn.), Erin Day (Buffalo Grove, Ill.), Megan Fastenau (Aberdeen, S.D.), Hannah Gruhn (Vermillion, S.D.), Eva Larson (Minneapolis, Minn.), Kaylin Peterson (Becker, Minn.), Elinor Sayers (Lakeville, Minn.), Julia Schriver (Aberdeen, S.D.), Eliza Siade-Cox (Hartland, Wis.), Chloe Strom (Moorhead, Minn.), Alexus Townsend (Omaha, Neb.), and Aubrey Vancura (Kearney, Neb.) will join the Wolves next fall.
 
"We are thrilled that Zoe has decided to join the pack, she is the perfect last piece of the puzzle," noted Gorski. "She knows how to defend, but more importantly has the speed to get up the field and support the attack. The options that open up having a player like her on the roster are endless. Although she came late on our radar, the passion she shows on the field and in the classroom, we know she will fit right in with the 2021 class. Away from the field, Zoe will leave a lasting impression on Northern State and its community, we have no doubt in that!"
