When Austin High (Minn.) senior guard Lisa Bue took a recruiting visit to North Dakota State last month, she focused on only one thing: academics.
She knew about everything else. The younger sister of former standout Beth Bue has verbally committed to the Bison. “Beth had a great experience and everybody just seems to like it there,” she said.
The Bison also received a commitment from Liz Preller, a 5-foot-10 forward from Woodbury, Minn. Preller helped Hudson High to a Wisconsin state championship two years ago and a semifinal berth last season. She transferred to Woodbury this year, where her father, Dave Preller, is the Woodbury head coach.
Lisa Bue will be the third family member to attend NDSU. Her sister, Emily Bue, is a sophomore but does not play basketball.
Bue averaged 16.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.3 steals and 2.4 assists last year. She led the team in virtually every statistical category.
