KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Future Western Michigan women's basketball student-athlete Hannah Spitzley earned Associated Press Division Three Player of the Year honors for the second year in a row this past season.

Spitzley averaged 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.3 steals and 2.2 assists during her senior campaign at Pewamo-Westphalia High School. The 5'10" guard also shot a staggering 58 percent from the field. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Spitzley guided the top-ranked Pirates to a 22-2 overall record and was set to play for a fourth straight regional championship.

During her junior campaign Spitzley led Pewamo-Westphalia to their first state championship after going an impressive 27-1. She was recognized as Detroit Free Press First Team All-State and named to the LSU Dream Team All-State.

In her career Spitzley scored over 1,000 points and guided Pewamo-Westphalia to a four-year record of 98-7. Spitzley will look to continue her success on the court during the 2020-21 season for the Brown & Gold.

Head Coach Shane Clipfell on Spitzley:
"Hannah is the kind of player we really aim for with our wings. She is long and strong, has a very high motor, can defend multiple positions and is as blue-collar as they come. She is a proven shooter and scorer who we think has her best days ahead of her. She knows what it takes to win at a high level with her state championship to prove it."
