KALAMAZOO, Mich. - The Western Michigan women's basketball team and head coach Shane Clipfell announced Gabi Saxman as a new addition to its 2020-21 class. Saxman has committed to continue her athletic and academic career at Western Michigan.

Gabi Saxman | 5-6 | G | Schoolcraft High School | Schoolcraft, Mich.
Saxman comes to Western Michigan from Schoolcraft, Mich., in the Kalamazoo area. The 5-6 high school senior became a starting point guard for the Eagles in her freshman year and led the program to its first regional title in history, earning First Team All-Conference and All-State Honorable Mention accolades along the way. After the conclusion of the 2018-19 season, she was named to the Associated Press All-State Team and to the Kalamazoo Area Dream Team. She averaged 16.2 points, 6.0 assists and 6.0 steals, leading the Eagles to an 18-3 record on the season.

Clipfell on Saxman:
"We are excited for Gabi to join the Broncos. She comes from a long line of Broncos in her family, including being the niece of our former long-time baseball coach, Fred Decker. She will bring us a great work ethic and we know she has been well coached throughout her basketball career. She is also a proven winner, a great student, and a high character individual. We welcome Gabi and her family to our Bronco family."

Saxman joins Megan Wagner and Hannah Spitzley, who signed NLIs during the early signing period in November. All three will be eligible to compete for the Brown & Gold starting in the 2020-21 season.
