SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Wofford head women's basketball coach Edgar I. Farmer Jr. has announced the addition of Anderson, S.C., native April Moorhouse to the Terrier squad for the 2008-09 campaign. Moorhouse, a 6-1 forward, is a recent graduate of T.L. Hanna High School and is the only incoming player for Wofford next season.
"I'm very excited about the potential April brings to our team," said Farmer. "She has a chance to step in right away and be an impact player. She is a solid player inside and out and we look forward to her making an impact."
The Terriers advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Southern Conference Tournament a year ago after knocking off rival Furman in the opening round. Wofford won six straight games during the regular season, including the Lady Osprey Holiday Classic title in Jacksonville, Fla.
