INA, Ill. – Mykhaela Tolds of Houston is the newest member of the Rend Lake College Lady Warriors Basketball team after signing a national letter of intent Friday morning to play next fall on the 2014-15 team. She is the second Texan to play for the team under Head Coach Ward McDaniel.
The 5-foot-9 small forward just wrapped up her senior year at Manvel High School by winning the 5A State Championship. As a senior, she docked 65 points for her team with a free-throw percentage of 55 and a field goal percentage of 37. She also put in 45 rebounds, 33 steals, 16 assists and 16 blocks in the 38 games she played.
As for becoming a Lady Warrior, Tolds said she is looking forward to helping the team go where no women’s basketball team has ever gone at RLC. She is also looking forward to taking classes in RLC’s criminal justice program.
“I’m just hoping for a good season and to help the team out and get to Nationals,” said Tolds. “Rend Lake was the best option for me, because I want to do criminal justice. The program looks really good. I want to become a CSI agent.”
McDaniel added, “We’re trying to be the first women’s basketball team to make it to Nationals. I’m glad she got to come up from Houston and see what we have to offer. I don’t think the division is going to disappoint her, because we’ll be playing Division I schools every night. Just talking with her, I think she’ll fit in nicely with the team next year.”
