Leiset van den Heuvel Signs with Campbell Women's Basketball

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Leiset van den Heuvel, of The Netherlands has signed an athletics grant-in-aid with Campbell University, women's basketball head coach Wanda Watkins announced on Thursday.
A graduate of Johan van Oldebounvelt High School, van den Heuvel is the fifth player to sign with the Lady Camels this year.
"Lieset is a promising player that will be a wonderful fit with our present team," said Watkins, who enters her 25^th season at the helm.
In 2002, van den Heuvel was selected to the Dutch National U18 Girls Basketball squad. During the prior season, she was named her club team's Most Improved Player.
"She is a hard worker who strives to improve her game on a daily basis. She is a well-rounded individual that will be a strong student-athlete for us as well," said Watkins.
Van den Heuvel competed at the club level, because Dutch schools do not take part in athletic competition.
Listed at 6-foot-4, van den Heuvel will be the tallest player to wear orange and black during Coach Watkins tenure at Campbell.
She joins Lynisha Ochogu of Charlotte, N.C., Gara and Cara Bell of Weldon, N.C., and Lauren Arthur of Alexandria, Va., as incoming freshmen to this year's Lady Camel squad.
