MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota head coach Dawn Plitzuweit and her staff announced the addition of Lexee Anderson (Latchford, Ontario). Anderson has signed to join the Minnesota women's basketball program for the 2027-28 season.
"We're excited to welcome Lexee and the Anderson family to our Gopher program," said Plitzuweit. "Lexee brings tremendous size and length to our frontcourt at 6-foot-7, along with a strong work ethic and willingness to compete. She takes pride in doing the little things that impact winning, whether that's sprinting the floor, battling for position in the paint, pursuing rebounds with two hands, or using her size to alter shots around the rim. Her presence gives us another dimension defensively, and we love the potential she brings as she continues to develop her game. We are thrilled to welcome Lexee and her family to Dinkytown!"
