FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State women's basketball head coach Ryan McCarthy announces the next addition to the 2025-26 roster in Hedda Koehne, announced on Friday afternoon.
Koehne, a transfer from the University of Alaska Anchorage, follows coach McCarthy to the next level. Kohne will be in her final year of eligibility at Fresno State.
"Hedda is a prototypical European post with great fundamentals and a well rounded game inside the post. She is a very good post defender and has great timing for altering shots," said head coach Ryan McCarthy. "She has good touch around the rim and can score from mid-range with great efficiency. I'm excited to see her impact our team with her unique skill set."
The 6-foot-2 forward spent the last season at UAA and averaged 5.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. The big was ranked third in the GNAC in blocks per game, placed top-20 on UAA single-season lists for blocks (t-16th, 40) and blocks per game (19th, 1.29) and was the sixth Seawolf to record five or more blocks in a single game.
Koehne, a native of Lette, Germany spent two seasons at Otero Junior College in Colorado. At Otero, Koehne started in 49 games, claimed a 2023-24 Defensive Player of the Year honor and made the NJCAA national tournament.
