HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky women's basketball head coach Camryn Whitaker announced the addition of Lindsey Duvall, a 5-foot-9 transfer guard from No. 6/6 Louisville. Duvall, who redshirted her freshman year before playing two seasons with the Cardinals, will graduate from Louisville in the summer and join the Norse as a graduate transfer with two years of immediate eligibility.
 
Duvall played in 49 games for Louisville, pacing the Cardinals with a 40.8 shooting percentage from beyond the arc as a redshirt-freshman. A native of Mount Washington, Kentucky, Duvall was a five-star prospect out of high school ranked 24^th overall and seventh among point guards according to espnW HoopGurlz. She helped lead Bullitt East to a 27-8 record while averaging 23.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game as a senior and was named Kentucky's Miss Basketball.
 
"I've known Lindsey and her family since she was in the seventh grade. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to coach her for two years," added Whitaker. "Lindsey will bring a level of leadership, toughness, maturity and experience that will help our team reach our goals! She is a natural scorer on the offensive end and her experience at Louisville is going to raise the level of play in our gym each day. I'd like to thank Coach Walz and the entire staff at the University of Louisville for their support and willingness to help Lindsey in what was a very tough decision for her. We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome her to our family at NKU!"
 
Joining the team alongside Duvall in the 2020-21 season will be incoming freshmen Kennedy Igo, Emma Palmer, Christyan Reid and Ellie Taylor. To read more about the quartet, click here.
