KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan women's basketball head coach Shane Clipfell announced the commitment of guard Lauren Ross to the 2020-21 recruiting class on Wednesday.

Ross was a four-year varsity starter at Reeths-Puffer High School and was a three-time team captain. The 5'10 guard is Reeths-Puffer's all-time female scoring leader and is a member of the school's 1,000 and 1,500-point club.

"We are very happy to have Lauren and her family join the Bronco family," said Clipfell. "She really brings a lot of tools with her but what we are most excited about is how much she loves being in the gym and her attention to detail with her academics."

During her senior campaign Ross was named First Team All-State by Associated Press, Detroit Free Press and BCAM while earning First Team All-Conference honors the past three seasons. Ross was a member of Muskegon's MLIVE Girls Basketball Dream Team three times during her prep career and was the Muskegon Chronicle's Dream Team Player of the Year.

In her senior season Ross averaged 26.6 points per game to go along with 9.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 4.5 steals per game. Ross graduated with a 4.095 cumulative grade point average and earned Academic All-State honors.

Ross is the fourth commit to the Western Michigan women's basketball 2020-21 recruiting class joining guards Megan Wagner, Hannah Spitzley and Gabi Saxman.
