Rachel Hinrichs (Glenvil, Neb.) has signed a letter of intent to continue her basketball career at Northwestern College next year.

Hinrichs is a 5'7" guard who played three years for the Hastings Red Tide. Hinrichs averaged 22 points and 13 rebounds in leading her team to an 18-7 record and a fifth place finish at the national tournament. She plans to major in pre-vet at Northwestern and is the daughter of Kipp and Tonya.

"We are excited to have Rachel join our women's basketball program and our campus community," said Northwestern head coach Chris Yaw. "Rachel is a high character person with a quality work ethic. She has continued to improve her basketball skills each year of high school and we believe that will continue to happen for her as a student-athlete at Northwestern. We look forward to the impact she will have on our entire campus and we welcome Rachel and her family to the Red Raider family."
