"We are very excited about all our signees for the Class of 2025," Young said. "Lucy, Diya and Inkjung are thrilled to be Vandals and love the campus and Moscow community. They are all tournament tested and team minded individuals who will be tremendous additions to our program. Each of these young women has her sights set on achieving success both on course and in the classroom while also impacting their team in the best ways possible. I am really looking forward to them joining us in the fall. Congratulations, Inkjung, Diya and Lucy! Welcome to the Vandal Family!"
