Release: January 03, 2013 North Dakota State head women's basketball coach Carolyn DeHoff announced today that the career of senior guard Hannah Linz has come to a close. Linz has experienced a recurrence of Hodgkin's lymphoma, and will begin treatment for the cancer soon.
Linz was originally diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma on April 8, 2010, following her freshman season with the Bison.
"We have witnessed firsthand Hannah's fight to beat it the first time and see this setback as nothing different in her approach to win the battle with cancer this time," said DeHoff. "We ask that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers and respect Hannah's privacy at this time."
Linz (Watkins, Minn.) played in 100 games for the Bison since the start of the 2009-10 season, averaging 6.5 points per game. She was the only NDSU player to start all 31 games last season, finishing the year ranked 12th nationally in three-point accuracy at 39.9 percent. Linz is No. 2 all-time at NDSU in three-pointers made with 156 in her career. She is a three-time selection to the Summit League All-Academic Team.
Linz plans to complete her education at NDSU and graduate with a degree in nursing.
